Phototherapy For Neonatal Jaundice

Phototherapy for Neonatal Jaundice

Neonatal Jaundice Treatment in Bangalore

Neonatal jaundice presents as a yellow discolouration of an infant's skin and eyes, signalling elevated bilirubin levels. Though a common occurrence in many newborns, they can become harmful if bilirubin levels surge too high.

Phototherapy is a frontline treatment for this condition. In this method, infants are bathed in a specific blue light wavelength, which modifies the bilirubin molecules, turning them water-soluble. This transformation facilitates the immature liver in processing and subsequently eliminating the bilirubin from the body. During these sessions, care is taken to shield the baby's eyes, and they are comfortably positioned for maximum exposure to the therapeutic light.

This gentle and effective treatment often results in quick recovery, enabling infants to progress with their early development robustly and healthily.
