Generally after an infant has suffered from jaundice, it is not effective to apply cornhusk boiled water to children to save them. Although cornhusk water has a watery effect, there are very many types of jaundice in infants. The common causes of jaundice in infants include three main categories: firstly, jaundice in infants is caused by factors of hemolysis. For example, the child’s blood type and the mother’s blood type do not quite match, which will lead to the destruction of red blood cells in the child’s body, the child’s body after the destruction of red blood cells, will cause the level of bilirubin in the body fluids will be raised, after the serum bilirubin level rises, jaundice will occur, this situation to the baby application of corn husk water is not a big effect. Secondly, if jaundice is caused by hepatocellular jaundice such as viral hepatitis, applying cornhusk water to children is also often not very effective. If jaundice is due to biliary atresia, cornhusk water is also less effective. In conclusion, the use of cornhusk water to treat jaundice in children is mostly ineffective.
