ExpertDr Bandana JoshiAyurvedic Physician8 months ago

A. Your doctor will decide and it also depends upon the recovery time once the report is normal phototherapy will stop abd keep feeding baby well on regular intervals take care

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl8 months ago

A. See it could be just 24 to 48 hours depending upon how phototherapy is working for the child further your doctor can advise you from the test that they do to figure out the level of jaundice so probably 24 to 48 hours should be good enough for the child
