What should you pay attention to when your baby has a fever and rash

If a young child has a fever and needs emergency treatment, it is important to take care of him or her and receive timely care and treatment. This is because the sudden rash is caused by a viral infection and may occur at any time of the year, with the highest likelihood occurring in spring and autumn. It is more common in babies aged six months to one year. Although it is an infectious disease, it is relatively safe and has a certain degree of self-limitation.

What should you pay attention to when your baby has a fever and rash

1. Children under one year old have not yet developed fully and have poor ability to resist diseases, so do not take your children to visit friends or go to public places. Because there are many people in public places, the density of bacteria and viruses in the air is relatively high, which greatly increases the possibility of children contracting diseases;

2. Children under one year old must have a regular diet, and pay attention to the intake of vegetables after adding complementary foods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of a person's acquired constitution. Regular and rich diet and normal food intake can promote the good development and growth of children. When your body is strong, your disease resistance will naturally increase;

3. During the period when children have fever, they should be given more water to drink, preferably warm water, and avoid sweetened water. Because children have poor appetite when they have a fever, sweet water will further affect their appetite and is not conducive to recovery from the illness. In terms of diet, light food is the main choice. Eating fatty and sweet food will cause stagnation of Qi and affect the spleen and stomach's function of transportation and digestion.

4. Children are weak during illness and should pay special attention to avoiding wind and cold, and be careful not to sweat in the wind, as this will attract new evils and cause recurrence of the disease. When a child has a fever and sweats, you can wipe the child with a warm wet towel or a soft dry towel, which can dissipate heat and be very comfortable;

5. Roseola infantum is a mild infectious disease, so in winter and spring, parents can give their children a bag of Isatis root powder every day to enhance their ability to resist viral invasion and prevent diseases.

symptom:

The baby first has a high fever that lasts for 3 to 4 days, with a body temperature between 39 and 40 degrees. After the fever subsides, a rash quickly appears all over the body, and the rash disappears quickly, without desquamation or pigmentation. These babies also have fever before the rash appears, and the fever can be quite high, but the symptoms of a cold are not obvious. Their spirits, appetite, etc. are all good (this is very similar to your baby). The throat may be a little red, and the lymph nodes in the neck and occipital region can be felt, but there is no tenderness. There are no other symptoms or physical signs. When the body temperature is about to subside or has already subsided and a rose-red rash appears all over the body, people suddenly realize that the roseola infantum is almost over. Roseola infantum has no effect on the health of babies. Once it occurs, the baby will be immune for life.
