Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Can two-month-old infants use tannic acid ointment?Doctor's answer:
Tannic acid ointment is a disinfectant and antiseptic! Tannic acid has a polyphenol hydroxyl structure, which precipitates proteins in the superficial layer of the mucous membrane to form a protective film, exerting astringent and protective effects on the skin. Tannic acid ointment is used for mild, small-area acute eczema, acute dermatitis, impetigo, pressure sores, and diaper rash. So it can be used. Sun exposure is an important way for infants and young children to supplement calcium. The main reason for their calcium deficiency is insufficient intake of Vitamin D, while the content of Vitamin D in food is very low, and combined with the monotonous diet of infants and young children, they can only obtain a small amount of Vitamin D from food. Sun exposure can promote the conversion of a substance in the skin to Vitamin D. Supplementing with Yitong probiotics can effectively improve the absorption of calcium in babies.
