Question
How to determine if a newborn has pediatric toxin? Are there any good solutions?
Answer
Pediatric toxin in newborns typically refers to the accumulation of toxins within the developing fetus or newborn, which may come from the transmission of toxins from the mother’s body or external environmental influences. In traditional Chinese medicine, pediatric toxin is believed to be the root cause of skin problems in infants, such as boils and eczema. However, in modern medicine, these conditions are usually categorized as skin issues, such as infant eczema. Although there are similarities in symptoms, infant eczema has a broader range of onset ages, while pediatric toxin mainly occurs in newborns and infants under 1 year old. Currently, treatment methods for pediatric toxin usually include maintaining clean skin on the baby, avoiding allergens, and using medication to alleviate symptoms. It is recommended to undergo treatment under a doctor’s guidance to ensure the baby’s health and safety.
