Item Facial Scalds due to Steam Inhalation in a Neonate – A Case Report(Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society, 2024-08-01) Chinmay Chetan; Saikat Patra; Aisha Naaz; Girish GuptaSteam 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. This case highlights the probable side effects of steam inhalation, a therapeutic approach lacking proven advantages. This reemphasizes the need to avoid such treatment strategy, especially in neonates who are predisposed to such injuries.Item Dual fluid silhouette in X-ray of the abdomen: a diagnostic flag for neurogenic bladder with urinary ascites(PUBMED, 2024-06-04) Brajendra Singh; Chinmay Chetan; Aisha Naaz; Girish GuptaA neonate presented with abdominal distension and decreased urinary output.
