Question
What is toxemia specifically? The baby in our neighborhood has toxemia, and the parents are not aware of the situation. I want to help understand it. How should the baby’s toxemia be treated? What effects does toxemia have on infants?
Answer
Toxemia refers to a condition where the fetus is poisoned. After the baby is born, within 2-3 days, small red spots may appear on the skin, but this will not have a significant impact on the infant. If you want to know how to treat toxemia and its effects on infants, I suggest using the following method for treatment: Boil 15g of honeysuckle and 5g of licorice in water, and let the baby drink it continuously for 5 days (boil about 180ml of water), drinking at least 80ml each day, at least once a day. This medicine is quite palatable. If the baby doesn’t like it, you can add glucose. Generally, after 2-3 days of birth, the small red spots on the baby’s skin will gradually fade. After seven days, the color will fade as well. It will completely disappear within about 0 days.
