Is blue light for jaundice useful for babies?

The jaundice blue light lamp is an appliance for treating baby jaundice. It can treat baby jaundice and can be seen on shopping websites such as Taobao. Some people ask if they can take photos at home? My personal opinion is not to do so. Take your baby to the hospital. The hospital has professional medical staff and this is the best way for the baby. What if you buy it and take photos at home and experience any discomfort? Moms, don't be careless and take your baby to the hospital.

1. Blue light irradiation is a simple, effective and fast-acting method for treating neonatal jaundice. Jaundice means that the baby's bilirubin level is too high. Bilirubin can absorb light. Under the action of light and oxygen, the fat-soluble bilirubin is oxidized into a water-soluble product, which can be excreted from the body through bile or urine, thereby reducing the serum unconjugated bilirubin concentration.

2What should I do if my lips turn black after being exposed to blue light for jaundice?

Children with jaundice who have an obvious increase in direct bilirubin may develop bronze syndrome after phototherapy. "Bronze" pigments include biliverdin, bilebrown, etc., and direct bilirubin is more easily oxidized to biliverdin. However, "bronze" pigments not only exist in the skin, but also in serum, liver, spleen, kidney, pericardium and ascites, so "bronze" pigments accumulate in the body.

3. Liver damage. Children also have liver damage, so that the products of bilirubin through photooxidation cannot be excreted from the liver and gallbladder, which is another condition for phototherapy to cause this disease.

When children have both liver damage and elevated direct bilirubin, phototherapy may cause bronze syndrome, but some also believe that phototherapy damages the liver and causes this disease.

There is currently no specific treatment for this disease, but the bronze color is a harmless, benign natural process that will disappear on its own and has no effect on the prognosis of the disease or mental and physical development. Active treatment should be given to the cause of increased bilirubin and active treatment such as jaundice reduction. The prognosis of this disease is good, and the symptoms and signs can disappear on their own.

Baby jaundice can be cured as long as it is treated in time. Don't buy it and take it at home without professional knowledge. This is simply playing with the child's life. Going to the hospital is the safest. Babies with jaundice should also have a light diet, and mothers should also avoid certain foods when breastfeeding their children. I hope the above is helpful to everyone, but you should still consult a doctor for specific details.
