What kind of prickly heat powder is good for babies? What should I do if my baby has prickly heat?

In the hot summer, many children will have large areas of prickly heat on their faces and foreheads. The more they sweat, the more prickly heat they will have. Especially in the two stages of spring and summer, the symptoms of prickly heat can be very serious. Constant scratching of children's prickly heat can cause infection, so you must take good care of yourself in daily life, try to choose high-quality and regular manufacturers' non-toxic products, and apply them regularly to keep them clean.

1. Keep your skin clean and dry. Whether it is after exercise or after taking a bath, parents must remember to wipe the sweat off their children, because prickly heat is most likely to grow in places with sweat.

2. Take a bath and change clothes frequently. If a child has prickly heat, he should be bathed and his clothes changed regularly. It is best to use warm water when bathing, and do not use soap or shower gel to reduce irritation to the skin; finally, dress your child in light, soft, and loose clothes to reduce friction on the skin.

3. Eat to relieve heat. When a child gets prickly heat, parents should let him drink water. They can also make some refreshing soups such as winter melon soup, watermelon juice, mung bean soup, etc. for their children to drink. They should also let their children eat more vegetables and fruits, which can not only relieve the summer heat, but also replenish water and vitamins and increase the feeling of coolness.

4. Maintain appropriate room temperature. The weather is hot in summer, and parents can keep the indoor air conditioner at around 26℃, but they should turn off the air conditioner and open the windows every once in a while to allow indoor and outdoor air to circulate.

What medicine should be used for children's prickly heat? In the hot summer weather, red and itchy prickly heat is easy to grow on children's delicate skin, which makes parents feel distressed. So, what medicine should be used for children with prickly heat?

Generally speaking, prickly heat is caused by hot and humid weather, poor sweating, inability to release heat, and the accumulation of summer heat and dampness in the skin. Therefore, external treatment should focus on clearing away heat, relieving exterior symptoms, removing dampness and relieving itching. When your child has prickly heat, you may try the following methods to get rid of it:

1. Ten drops of water. When bathing your child, add 20 to 30 ml of Ten Drops of Water to warm water, but be careful not to use soap, shower gel, etc. Just use clean water to bathe your child to maintain the efficacy of Ten Drops of Water. This bath can keep your child's body cool and is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent and treat prickly heat. Alternatively, you can dilute Ten Drops with warm water at a ratio of 1:10 and apply to the affected area with a cotton swab. Apply 2 to 3 times a day and prevent children from scratching the affected area with their hands.

2. Mint. Mint contains volatile oil, the main components of which are menthol, menthone and menthyl acetate, etc., which play a certain role in preventing and treating prickly heat. You can use 150 grams of fresh mint leaves, boil them in water and use it to bathe your child.

It is worth noting that some parents will apply some external anti-itch ointments to their children, but these ointments may contain hormones, which can easily irritate children's delicate skin and are therefore not suitable for use.
