Baby jaundice 16 points in general how long to take blue light

  The duration of blue light exposure for baby jaundice depends on the type and severity of jaundice as well as individual circumstances, and should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.  If the jaundice is physiological, in the absence of other uncomfortable symptoms, the baby can usually be exposed to more sunlight, which can gradually subside in 7-14 days. If the jaundice is pathological, it is usually treated with blue light irradiation for about 4-8 hours each time. If the jaundice is mild, blue light irradiation is usually sufficient for 3-4 days; if the jaundice is moderate, i.e., a bilirubin index of 16 mg/dl, blue light irradiation is required for 5-7 days. If the jaundice is severe, the duration of blue light irradiation is usually 12-16 hours, and the treatment should be continued for more than 7 days.  During blue light treatment, care should be taken to protect the baby’s eyes by wearing a light shield and protecting the perineal area by wearing diapers. In addition, attention should be paid to timely hydration, riboflavin, and calcium supplements.
