#Replay Umbilical Granuloma Treatment With Common Table Salt

In the last of our summer #Replay series, we look back at a simple intervention health visitors can recommend in practice to resolve a common clinical issue. Health Visitors are well placed to identify these granulomas and advice parents on how to treat these, preventing unnecessary and potentially harmful treatment with silver nitrate. Jenny and Amy discuss what Health Visitors need to know to advise parents confidently on this, including the practicalities of how to apply the salt and common parent concerns with this. We would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for future episodes.
