POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy3 years agoA. Phototherapy is treatment with a special type of light (not sunlight). It's sometimes used to treat newborn jaundice by lowering the bilirubin levels in your baby's blood through a process called photo-oxidation. Photo-oxidation adds oxygen to the bilirubin so it dissolves easily in water.
