What to do if your baby has a rash

The condition of babies with rashes will be more serious after being exposed to the wind, so parents should also understand the countermeasures for babies with rashes, especially some babies will also have fever when they have rashes. At this time, you should pay attention to actively help them cool down physically. If necessary, you can use some sedatives, and do not take the baby out, and pay attention to giving him vitamin supplements.

1. Measure body temperature every half hour and perform physical cooling when the fever is high.

If your child suddenly develops a fever, there is no need to panic. First measure the body temperature. If it exceeds 38.5℃, you can first use physical cooling methods to deal with it. Put a cooling patch on the child's forehead and use alcohol to wipe the child's palms, soles of feet, neck, armpits and other hot areas. This may be the most difficult time for parents. Measure the child's temperature every half an hour. If the temperature remains above 39°C and the child starts crying, getting irritable or even having convulsions, you can try using children's antipyretic drugs such as Motrin and Tylenol, and use sedatives if necessary.

2. Don’t worry too much. Comforting yourself is the key.

Some parents take their children to the hospital as soon as they see they have a fever. The doctor will eventually determine that it is a fever or pharyngitis and will prescribe some antipyretics. In fact, the doctor dare not conclude that it is a rash and dare not let the parents and children bear it. The medicine prescribed for you is actually a psychological placebo. More than 80% of young children will experience the process of having a rash. When a rash appears, general medicines are ineffective against it. Giving children medicine can only serve as psychological comfort. So at this time, parents must comfort themselves and their families while comforting their children.

3. Don’t take your children out, give them more boiled water, give them vitamin supplements, and don’t cover them too thickly when they sleep at night.

Children at this time should not go out to be exposed to the wind, just keep the indoor air fresh. Give your child more boiled water, you can add a little sugar, supplement vitamin C and vitamin B, which will help the child sweat and urinate, thereby achieving a cooling effect.

4. Spend more time with your children and give them care.

At this time, the child is very dependent on the mother and hopes that the mother will always hold him, so the mother needs to try her best to meet the child's psychological needs, which is also conducive to enhancing the parent-child relationship.
