Caring for Your Baby with Gentle & Effective Treatment in Mettupalayam, Kotagiri, Ooty & The Nilgiris

At Supahospital, we understand how delicate newborn care is, especially when it comes to conditions like jaundice in infants. Jaundice is very common in the first few days after birth, as the baby’s body adjusts to life outside the womb. It happens when there is a buildup of bilirubin in the blood, which causes the baby’s skin and eyes to appear yellow. While mild jaundice often resolves on its own, some babies need medical support to bring down bilirubin levels safely.

What is Phototherapy?

Phototherapy is a special medical treatment that uses gentle blue-spectrum light to reduce high bilirubin levels in newborns. During the procedure, your baby is placed under the phototherapy unit, where the light helps break down bilirubin into simpler substances that can be easily removed from the body. This treatment is completely non-invasive, painless, and safe for newborns.

Why Choose Supahospital for Phototherapy?
