Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medical treatment on an infant with burn injury. Methods We treated the infant suffering from burn injury by Korean medical treatment such as acupuncture, Hwangryunhaedoktang extract, Jaungo dressing from March 15th, 2016 to March 26th, 2016. This efficacy of treatment was evaluated with observation. Results After this treatment, burn wound size was reduced and skin tissue regeneration was accelerated. As time passes, pigmentation was faded. Conclusions This case report showed that the Korean medical treatment is effective in the treatment of pediatric burn. However further case studies are still required to confirm these findings.
