| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Steam inhalation is a traditional remedy used in all age groups for treating respiratory problems like cough, coryza, pharyngitis, bronchiolitis, etc. Though equivocally beneficial, should be avoided in neonates, due to the risk of burns if not used correctly. We present a case of a term neonate with scalds on his face due to steam inhalation, given by his mother, to treat cough and coryza. First and second-degree burns were present on the face. Oral, nasal cavities, and eyes were unaffected. Safe practices during steam inhalation are highlighted, which can prevent scalds and burns in the neonatal age group. | |
