How To Treat Bruising In A 1 Years Old Child?

Dear Doctor,

My son Nichiren ,one year old (His date of birth-07 Jan 2011)having bruises like appearance on his body at differant places,greenish,redish,blueish like.He is treated by many doctors but any one could not treated him properly,even though diff. blood tests are performed.Now he suffered by same problem.

After his birth he was affected by jaundice from 3 rd day,having dark yellowish skin,conjunctiva,eyeball and dark yellowish urine also.No any child specialist treated him properly only suggested that, to expose him to sunbath only early in the morning and evening regularly but not any type of medication concerning jaundice.I was in conflict mentality, how to solve problem, I dared to treat him personally considering Indian Ayurvedic medicines ,showing positive response to treatment from 2 nd day and he recovered completely within 15 to 20 days.Now he do not show the symptoms of jaundice but only bruises like appearance.He is under treatment of well known homoeopath but not responding.Could it be Cirrhosis of liver or any problem, please suggest me.Dr.Ganesh G. Ware B.V.Sc.& A.H.

Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
Two answers you want.
1) jaundice developing on day 3 is physiological jaundice.There is no medicine for it.You need to monitor it.If bilirubin crosses safe level then photo therapy is given.But if jaundice happens to be direct hyperbilirubinemia then its a serious thing and needs evaluation
2) you said he developed brises everywhere This happens in factor 8 and/or factor 9 deficiency.Check CBC,LFT,PT,APTT,BT AND CT,If abnormal then he will need favor 8 and factor 9 assay and hematologists opinion
Happy to help you
Best regards
