The most common symptom of infantile rash is "inexplicable" fever! The child was originally fine, did not have a cold, and did not experience any other discomfort. It was just a simple fever. After taking antipyretic medicine, the fever will soon reappear. After three days of fever, the rash will subside, which indicates that the baby is about to recover! So, what should be done when a toddler cries and makes a rash?
What should I do if a child cries after experiencing a rash
1. Babies should rest more, avoid vigorous play, and pause physical exercise.
2. Drink plenty of water and add fruit juice appropriately, which not only increases vitamin intake but also facilitates sweating and urination, promoting the elimination of toxins.
3. During the period when the baby is sick, they should eat easily digestible foods. For babies who can already eat solid foods, they should eat liquid or semi liquid diets at this time. However, it is important to be as nutritious as possible, and it is not recommended to drink sweet water with high sugar content. At this time, the baby's appetite may be poor, which can affect their appetite.
4. The place where the baby rests should be quiet, with good air circulation and kept fresh.
5. The blanket cannot be covered too thick or too much, as it is not conducive to heat dissipation.
6. Pay attention to keeping the baby's skin clean and hygienic. Regularly wipe off sweat stains on the baby's body to prevent catching a cold and to prevent the baby from getting infected with rashes.
7. At this time, some babies may be very dependent on their mothers and hope to stay in their arms all the time, which may be due to the psychological needs of the baby caused by illness. So please try to meet the psychological needs of your baby as much as possible, which is also beneficial for the parent-child relationship.
Precautions for rash in young children
1. Childhood rash is more common in infants and young children, and often becomes the first fever since birth, and it is still a high fever. The most worrying thing for parents when a child develops a rash is that the high fever does not subside. Even if antipyretic medication is taken, the body temperature will soon rise again. But parents should pay attention that although the baby's heat is high, their mental state is not too bad, and it basically does not affect their play and diet. This is different from other diseases. After a child develops a rash, they can gain long-lasting immunity and rarely have a second onset.
2. Breastfeeding mothers need to increase their fluid intake. If the baby is still breastfeeding, the mother needs to increase the amount of fluid supplementation. When the baby is sick, they rely more on the mother's breastfeeding. Try to breastfeed as much as possible to improve the baby's immunity. Mom should pay attention not to eat eggs, fish, shrimp, garlic, chives and other foods in her diet, and try not to eat raw, cold or spicy foods as much as possible.
