Patient's question:
The doll has been born for 2 months. Recently, I noticed small red spots on the baby's body. The baby is unwilling to eat milk and cries non-stop all day. The elders at home say the baby has fetal poison because the baby is young and they don't want to use medicine. I would like to ask if the fetal poison of the baby can be washed away?Doctor's answer:
The condition of baby meconium is relatively mild and can heal on its own. Since meconium is part of the baby's skin detoxification reaction, its appearance does not mean the baby is sick. Instead, it indicates that the baby is in the process of expelling toxins from its body. The duration of meconium expulsion is usually not too long, typically within one month. The baby will usually heal on its own within this period. Of course, some babies may take longer to detoxify, but most will not exceed two months.
