Question
Can babies with congenital lymphedema be treated?
Answer
The baby was born with the right leg significantly larger than the left, and after an MRI at Guangzhou Children’s Hospital one and a half months later, the diagnosis was lymphatic malformation. This condition may be a symptom of obstructed lymphatic circulation, and can be treated with Chinese herbal medicine such as Xuefu Zhuyu Pill, Ginkgo Biloba Tablets, and Danshen Tablets for adjustment. At the same time, attention should be paid to providing the baby with easily digestible and absorbable food, and avoiding adverse stimulation.
