What should I pay attention to when my baby has an acute rash?

It is quite common for babies to go to the emergency room, which is also called infantile roseola. When the baby goes to the emergency room, parents should let the baby rest more and not play violently. In addition, some physical exercises should be suspended. The baby should drink more water and more fruit juice, which will help sweating, urination, and promote the metabolism of toxins. During the illness, the baby should eat more easily digestible foods and try to eat some liquid and semi-liquid foods.

What should I pay attention to when my baby has an acute rash?

1. Babies should rest more, avoid intense play, and suspend physical exercise;

2. Drink plenty of water and add appropriate amount of fruit juice, which can increase the intake of vitamins, facilitate sweating and urination, and promote the excretion of toxins;

3. During the baby's illness, he should eat easily digestible food. Babies who can already eat solid food can eat liquid or semi-liquid food at this time. But be careful to make sure it is nutritious; (It is not recommended to drink sweetened water with high sugar content, as it will affect the baby's appetite at this time)

4. Deliberately and appropriately supplement vitamin C and vitamin B;

5. The place where the baby rests should be quiet, with good ventilation and fresh air;

6. The quilt should not be too thick or too much, as this will not be conducive to heat dissipation;

7. Pay attention to keeping the baby's skin clean and hygienic, and wipe off the sweat on the child's body frequently to prevent the baby from catching cold and preventing the baby with rash from getting infected.

8. When the body temperature exceeds 39 degrees, you can wipe the child's body with warm water or 37% alcohol to prevent high fever convulsions. (Alcohol is not recommended for cooling babies. If parents do not know the alcohol concentration, it is not recommended for older babies as it is irritating to the skin.)

9. Roseola infantum is one of the few diseases in which the baby can go out to play and be exposed to the wind when the rash appears. However, Chinese medicine believes that the baby's constitution is weak at this time. If the baby sweats a lot, it is not recommended to go out to be exposed to the wind.

10. At this time, some babies may be very dependent on their mothers and hope to stay in their mothers' arms all the time. This may be a psychological need of the baby caused by the disease. Therefore, mothers are requested to try their best to meet the psychological needs of their babies, which is also beneficial to the parent-child relationship.

Treatment of roseola infantum

1. Most books believe that no treatment is needed. Personal advice: If other symptoms are not obvious, at least physical cooling should be performed.

2. Symptomatic treatment: Take antipyretic drugs (physical cooling; children's Motrin, Tylenol, Baifuning and other drugs to cool down), antiviral drugs (antiviral oral liquid, Isatis root, children's Qingjie liquid, etc.)

3. If the temperature is too high, parents are advised to seek medical attention to prevent the baby from having a febrile convulsion (Tip: febrile convulsions generally have no sequelae and will not cause any fundamental damage to the baby, nor will they make the baby "stupid" or have convulsions or other problems, but mothers will definitely be scared by this. Taking this into consideration, seeing a doctor will make mothers feel more at ease). Convulsion medications are not suitable for home use, so they are not introduced in detail.

4. Special reminder: Antibiotics are not needed for roseola infantum and are ineffective. On the contrary, the use of antibiotics may cause other diseases.
