Question
A one-month-old baby has developed many small red spots on their body and the skin has become extremely sensitive, turning red upon crying. Traditional beliefs suggest this is due to unexcreted toxemia. How should neonatal toxemia be treated?
Answer
Neonatal toxemia often presents with symptoms such as seborrheic dermatitis and eczema. Treatment methods can include using honeysuckle-infused water for baby baths and applying topical eczema creams in affected areas to alleviate symptoms. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid spicy and stimulating foods as well as greasy foods, and pay attention to maintaining appropriate indoor temperature and humidity, avoiding excessive heat or humidity.
