Treatment of frostbite in children

In the early stage of frostbite in children, without breakout, honey lard ointment can be applied once a day with good effect, or 2%-5% camphor cream or ointment can be used; if it is already broken out, neomycin ointment or sulfuric fritillary ointment can be applied topically twice a day, and there is also Chinese herbal medicine’s Marble cream applied topically once a day with more certain effect. In addition, non-pharmacological treatment can be applied infrared light therapy and audio electrotherapy, which are usually applied continuously for about 10-15 days. Severe patients can be given appropriate oral vasodilators to enhance the blood circulation of the skin. Commonly nifedipine, three times a day, but applied in children, should be cautious.
