Phototherapy
Phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment used to manage newborn jaundice by reducing high bilirubin levels in the blood. At Dr. Santosh’s Chirayu Hospital, advanced phototherapy is provided under expert neonatal supervision to ensure gentle, effective, and timely care for newborns.
When is Phototherapy Needed?
Phototherapy is recommended for newborns with:
- Physiological jaundice
- Premature or low birth weight babies
- Rising bilirubin levels
- Jaundice within the first few days of life
- Blood group incompatibility (Rh / ABO)
- Post-NICU monitoring cases
How Does Phototherapy Work?
- Special blue light changes bilirubin into a form that can be easily eliminated by the body
- Helps the baby pass bilirubin through urine and stool
- Non-invasive, painless, and highly effective
