What should I do if I am allergic to Sanfutie and it itches?

What is Sanfutie? According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is a way of quickly introducing medicine into the human body by stimulating acupoints. The reason why it is called Sanfutie has a lot to do with the three hottest days in summer. After all, the hottest days of the year are very suitable for conditioning the body. However, some people feel that their skin cannot stand it after using Sanfutie. So, what should we do if they are allergic to Sanfutie and it is very itchy?

Applying Sanfutie may cause redness, swelling, itching and even allergic reactions such as blisters on our skin. This is generally normal and there is no need to panic. This is mainly because the Sanfutie contains pungent, warm and fragrant drugs, which help the drug penetrate into the skin.

How to avoid——

In order to avoid this situation, the hospital has improved and adjusted the prescription of Sanfutie. The allergic reaction has been greatly reduced, and children will basically not experience severe allergic symptoms such as swelling, pain, and blistering after applying the plaster. In addition, in order to prevent the Sanfu plaster from causing irritation to children's skin, you can also apply some ginger juice before applying the plaster to reduce the irritation of the drug to the skin.

Some people apply Sanfutie because they are allergic to the Sanfutie adhesive tape. This phenomenon is not due to the allergy caused by the drug itself, but due to the allergy caused by the adhesive tape and other substances used during the application. Generally, it only manifests as mild allergic symptoms, such as local skin rash and itching. In this case, you should use anti-allergic adhesive tape with better breathability.

If the baby is allergic to the medicine in Sanfutie, the baby may not be able to tolerate the stimulation of the medicine and easily cause skin infection. Therefore, Sanfutie should not be used, especially for children under 2 years old, whose skin is more delicate. It is best to use it for children over 2 years old. After applying the Sanfu patch to the baby, parents should closely observe the child's expression and changes in the skin at the applied site, and check every half an hour. If severe pain, redness, swelling, etc. occur on the skin, the patch should be removed. If there is burning or pain on the skin at the applied site, the ointment should be removed in time and gently washed with clean water. Scratching is strictly prohibited. The child can usually heal on his own. If bubbling occurs, it is generally sterile and there is no need to worry. Just apply some iodine and it will slowly scab over and heal. If severe blisters occur, go to the hospital for treatment in time.
