What to do if the baby's neck is broken by drowning

Because the baby's skin is very tender, it is easy to get neck swelling when exposed to external stimuli, that is, the wrinkles of the baby's skin become red and rotten. The baby's body resistance is limited. If the skin on the baby's neck is broken, infection may occur, which will cause greater harm to the child. It is important to resolve the problem in time. So, what should you do if your baby’s neck is scratched?

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.
