Safe treatment for newborn jaundice.
Neonatal jaundice (elevated bilirubin levels causing yellowing of skin and eyes) is one of the most common conditions in newborns, affecting up to 60% of full-term and 80% of preterm babies. Baby's Life Hospital in Hanamkonda, Warangal provides safe and effective phototherapy treatment using modern LED phototherapy units to bring bilirubin levels down quickly and prevent complications.
Phototherapy works by exposing the baby's skin to specific wavelengths of blue light (460-490nm) which converts unconjugated bilirubin in the skin into water-soluble isomers that can be excreted without liver processing. At Baby's Life Hospital, we use overhead LED phototherapy units and fibre-optic phototherapy blankets that provide high-intensity, uniform light coverage. Our neonatal team monitors bilirubin levels with regular blood tests and adjusts treatment duration accordingly.
During phototherapy at our hospital, babies are placed in a warm, comfortable cot with eye shields for protection. Our nursing staff monitors temperature, hydration, feeding and skin condition throughout treatment. Breastfeeding is encouraged during phototherapy as adequate feeding promotes bilirubin excretion through stool. Most babies respond to 24-48 hours of phototherapy, after which bilirubin levels are rechecked to confirm safe levels before discharge.
Parents in Warangal, Hanamkonda and Kazipet can rely on Baby's Life Hospital for expert management of newborn jaundice.
