A. hi please keep breastfeeding your child as per his or her needs put a bowel of chopped onion and garlic pods near your child bed approx 1.4 feet far overnight, the smell is not so pleasant but it surely heals. dress your child in weather appropriate clothes provide apt sun light at least 20 minutes a day maintain good hygiene
