Sri Balaji Nursing Home is Specialized in Phototherapy Treatment Sri Balaji Nursing Home is the Best Phototherapy Treatment Hospital in Ongole. 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. This makes it easier for your baby's liver to break down and remove the bilirubin from their blood. There are 2 main types of phototherapy.
conventional phototherapy – where your baby is laid under a halogen or fluorescent lamp with their eyes covered
fibreoptic phototherapy – where your baby lies on a blanket that incorporates fibreoptic cables; light travels through the fibreoptic cables and shines on to your baby's back.
