Question

My baby got burned during moxibustion and now has blisters, it’s been five days. Is the wound infected? How should I treat it? Do you have any suggestions?

Answer

Hello, I’m glad to help you out: This parent, your baby’s burn looks like this, which is somewhat related to your handling. It’s necessary to apply iodine tincture locally to prevent infection. It’s not allowed to perform such an adventurous treatment without proper skills. This is an inflammatory reaction after the burn. Pay attention to keeping the area clean and dry, and disinfect and change the dressing to prevent infection. I suggest you go to a local professional hospital for a check-up.
