Baby noma can be treated by pushing the four horizontal stripes, pushing the three passes, rubbing the navel and other massage treatments.
1. Push the four horizontal stripes: with the palm of the baby’s hand upwards, use the radial edge of the thumb to push back and forth from the horizontal stripes of the baby’s forefinger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger root one by one, which can play a role in eliminating distension and removing fullness in order to treat chancre.
2. Push the three passes: using the belly of the forefinger and middle finger to push from the baby’s wrist to the elbow, you can strengthen the spleen and stomach to treat noma.
3. Rubbing the navel: the diarrhoea method is used to treat noma by rubbing the baby’s navel with the thumb in a clockwise direction, which eliminates stagnation and treats noma.
If your baby has chancre, you should go to a hospital pediatrician in a timely manner and be treated by a professional doctor, rather than blindly massaging the baby on your own in order to avoid further aggravation of the condition.
