One common side effect that is experienced by babies who are receiving phototherapy treatment is more frequent and loose stools. The color of these stools are usually a greenish color; however, this is normal because that is the way bilirubin is removed from the body. As bilirubin levels return to normal and phototherapy is no longer needed, the frequency of bowel movements and the color of the stools will return to normal. Short-term * Skin lesions * Diarrhea due to thermal and hydroelectrolytic abnormalities * Bronze baby syndrome (grey and brown pigmentation of the skin in infants with cholestasis) * Hematological changes * Paralytic ileus Long-term * Neoplasms * Skin lesions * Café au lait spots * Allergic diseases (allergic asthma, rhinitis, and conjunctivitis) Other side effects of phototherapy include effects on circadian cycle genes, patent ductus arteriosus, and possible retinal damage if the eyes are exposed to constant phototherapy.
