Phototherapy : An Overview

Phototherapy is a common treatment for newborn jaundice caused by excess bilirubin, which leads to yellowing of the skin and eyes. The baby is placed under special blue lights that convert bilirubin into a form easily removed through urine and stool. It is a safe, painless, and non-invasive method. During treatment, the baby lies under the light wearing only a diaper, with eyes protected. Doctors monitor temperature, hydration, and bilirubin levels, while regular feeding helps recovery. Most babies improve within a few days.
