Akron Children’s Hospital is now using a breakthrough medication to treat frostbite, and it’s already helping save fingers and toes this winter. With Northeast Ohio’s brutal wind chills, frostbite cases have spiked, but this new IV therapy—iloprost—can actually help restore blood flow and prevent amputations if given soon enough. Nurses say they’ve already seen a couple of kids keep their digits thanks to this treatment. Meanwhile, local shelters are bracing for more people seeking warmth as the cold snap continues. Have you or someone you know ever dealt with frostbite? What do you think about this new approach? #Health #BodyHealth #Akron
