jaundice treatment
Blue light therapy
Jaundice treatment refers to medical interventions addressing the yellowing of skin and eyes caused by elevated bilirubin.
Treatment targets the underlying condition—liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or blood disorders—rather than the discoloration itself.
In newborns, phototherapy (exposure to special blue light) breaks down excess bilirubin: The baby needed jaundice treatment for a few days after birth.
