Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is phototherapy and how does it work?
Phototherapy uses a specific type of light to break down excess bilirubin in the baby’s skin. The bilirubin is then removed from the body through the baby’s urine and stool. It is a safe, painless, and effective treatment for neonatal jaundice.
How do I know if my baby needs phototherapy?
A pediatrician will assess your baby’s bilirubin levels through a blood test. If the levels are above the normal range for your baby’s age and weight, phototherapy may be recommended.
Is phototherapy safe for my baby?
Yes, phototherapy is a widely used and medically approved treatment. At Dr. Sawant Clinic, it is administered under strict medical supervision with proper eye protection and hydration monitoring to ensure complete safety.
How Long does Phototherapy take?
The duration varies depending on how high the bilirubin levels are and how your baby responds to the treatment. It may range from a few hours to a couple of days, with regular monitoring in between.
Can I stay with my baby during the treatment?
Yes, parents are encouraged to stay close and involved. We maintain a comfortable and supportive environment where you can be part of your baby’s care throughout the treatment.
Will my baby need hospital admission for phototherapy?
In most cases, day care phototherapy is sufficient and hospital admission can be avoided. However, if bilirubin levels are extremely high or your baby needs intensive monitoring, we will guide you accordingly.
