What to do if a child has rash

It is a common skin phenomenon for children to get hives, which are also called urticaria. Because children have poor physical constitution, they are easily affected by adverse internal and external stimulation and influence, which leads to the occurrence of urticaria. On the one hand, children should strengthen their physical constitution. On the other hand, if hives appear frequently, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to find the allergens, and then treat and regulate the symptoms.

What to do if a child has rash

1. Exercise regularly to improve your physical fitness

For children who are prone to urticaria, parents must encourage them to exercise more and try their best to improve their physical fitness so that they will not be affected by irritants from the external environment. If you have a good resistance, you will not easily get sick.

2. Go to a regular hospital to find allergens

If parents find that their child's urticaria is severe, they can go to a relatively regular hospital for an allergen test to find out what the irritant is that causes the child's urticaria. When I was sick, I went for an allergen test. Medical conditions were not very developed at that time, and the nurse inserted more than 40 needles in our arms. It turned out that I was allergic to dust, seafood and bacteria.

3. Learn to avoid allergens

After finding out the allergen, take medication as prescribed by the doctor and there will generally be no problem. In daily life, in addition to exercising more, you should also help your baby avoid items that may cause urticaria, so that the baby will gradually become resistant to these items as his physical fitness improves.

What causes hives?

1. Children with weak constitutions generally have poor resistance. Some children are sick all day long, so their physical condition is not very good. Once the disease or external stimulation invades the body, urticaria is prone to break out. This constitution is generally called an allergic constitution. I wasn’t in very good health when I was a child. I was sick all the time, so I had a weak constitution.

2. Allergic constitution is easily affected by external stimuli and produces changes. Common foods include fish, shrimp, eggs, milk, etc., followed by certain meats and certain plant foods such as strawberries, cocoa, tomatoes or garlic and other condiments. It is more common in children, and it may also be due to the different permeability of the digestive tract mucosa in children and adults.

In addition, coloring, flavoring, preservatives, and natural or synthetic substances added to food can also cause urticaria. Various external inhalants may cause urticaria, such as various pollens, dust mites, cotton wool, animal fur, chemical gases, etc. may be the cause of urticaria. Bacterial infections, viral infections, fungal infections and parasitic infections in the body can all cause urticaria. In addition, papular urticaria may occur after bites from mosquitoes, mites, fleas, bedbugs, etc. These are common causes of urticaria.
