Stefan Johansson Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Everything in the NICU is not about the complicated level-3 cases. I learned something new over the weekend shift, that umbilical granuloma can be treated with regular table salt (!). Another colleague had read about this and tried on one of our ex-preterm graduates with a granuloma. Seemingly good outcome. Had to do some Pubmed-browsing and found two papers on the topic, the latter being a systemic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31120144/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33154632/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAKRADHAR MEDDELA Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I am treating umbilical granulomas with common salt application at my place for >25 years with excellent results. This can be done by mother or grandmother by applying small piece of rock common salt over the granuloma ( preferably after feeds so that it stays there for at least 3 hours) and fixing it with a plater. I advice twice a day application for a week. It's just a home care remedy for umbilical granulomas. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatte Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Yes, we too treat with rock salt, I don't know about table salt, and I have never seen a patient coming back without responseSent from my GM1901 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
