How much can jaundice be reduced by 8 hours of blue light exposure

It is impossible to determine how much jaundice can be reduced by 8 hours of blue light exposure. The jaundice value varies with different diseases. The value is related to the type of jaundice. There are physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Sometimes due to the disease, the jaundice value may continue to rise, so it is difficult to determine the reduction value. The details are as follows:

1. Physiological jaundice: 8 hours of blue light exposure, generally 1-2 days may completely disappear; but if the jaundice value is relatively high, the course of the disease may be extended by 3-5 days.

2. Pathological jaundice: Although blue light exposure can reduce the value of jaundice, if the primary cause of jaundice is not treated, blue light exposure alone will not make the jaundice disappear. The primary disease needs to be treated, such as bile duct obstruction, and surgery is needed to relieve the obstruction in order to achieve a good therapeutic effect.

3. During blue light irradiation, fluids need to be replenished to ensure a large amount of urine. Urine excretion is helpful in controlling jaundice. Pay attention to the child's vital signs and body temperature during treatment.
