What to do if the newborn's neck is soaked and broken?

We all know that the weather is hot in summer and children tend to sweat more, especially newborns. They don’t know how to wipe their sweat and have more flesh on their necks, which can easily cause neck drowning in newborns. Neck drowning in newborns means that the child’s neck is wet with sweat. Sweat contains salt, which can cause pain to newborns. So, what should we do if the newborn’s neck is drowned and broken?

1. Keep your baby's skin clean and fresh

When your baby is feeding, be sure to place gauze under his mouth to prevent milk from flowing down his mouth into his neck. When your baby is sleeping, pay attention to the ventilation of his neck and be careful not to let him sweat too much.

2. Give your baby a bath frequently

You should bathe your baby frequently. When bathing your baby, you can add baby gold water or a few drops of honeysuckle dew into the bath water. You can also use honeysuckle decoction to wipe the baby's neck and other parts.

3. You can use vegetable oil

When the baby's neck is soaked, you can rub it with sesame oil. When wiping the affected area, be careful not to use too much oil to prevent sesame oil from dripping onto other parts and causing discomfort to the baby.

4. You can also use aloe vera gel, etc.

You can also apply aloe vera gel, lotion, etc. to the affected area, which can moisturize and reduce inflammation and relieve local skin symptoms.

5. If infection occurs, ointment can be used

If local ulceration occurs, medical treatment is necessary. Generally, erythromycin ointment or chloramphenicol ointment can be used to prevent further infection.

6. Use powders such as talcum powder with caution

After your baby's neck is flooded, do not continue to use powders such as talcum powder and prickly heat powder. Because the particles of these powders will clog the pores and cause red bumps on the skin.

The above method is also applicable to the phenomenon of redness on the baby's buttocks, thighs and other skin folds.

Mothers can choose to use the methods described in this article to deal with the problem of baby's drowning neck. These methods can make the baby more comfortable or even cure the drowning neck.
