According to Dr Gbemi (A paediatrician), Please do not give local herbs for “Jedi-Jedi” either once in a while or routinely to children either for prevention or treatment. The danger of this practice is the fact that these herbs can cause liver or kidney damage. Let us protect these vital organs of our children.
If you think your baby has “Jedi-Jedi”; Please see a doctor know what the right medical disease or diagnosis is. Let it be treated appropriately by the professionals. For some of these conditions wrongfully labelled “jedi-jedi”, home remedies can be commenced even before presentation at the hospital for example in diarrhoea illness.
1) Diarrhoea just needs Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) and oral Zinc.
2)Dysentery will need antibiotics. So see a doctor.
3)Haemorrhoids and rectal prolapse may require surgery depending on the severity. They can also be managed conservatively.
