Patient's question:
Recently, after my child was born, I noticed some health issues with my body. After going to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with infantile hardening syndrome. Therefore, I want to talk about whether infantile hardening syndrome is treatable.Doctor's answer:
Hypertonia is a disease caused by neonatal cold, preterm birth, infection, and asphyxia. Its characteristics are localized or even systemic skin and subcutaneous fat hardening and edema. In Western medicine, it is called neonatal hypertonia. The treatment principles include invigorating qi and blood, resolving blood stasis, tonifying deficiency, warming the spleen and kidneys, and dispersing cold to soothe the liver and resolve blood stasis. At the same time, combining rewarming with topical application of traditional Chinese medicine can enhance the therapeutic effect. This condition is common during the cold winter and spring seasons. If caused by preterm birth or infection, it may also occur in summer.
