Childhood rash is a common disease in early childhood, with most children experiencing it before the age of 2. Its clinical features include high fever for 3-4 days, followed by sudden fever reduction and the appearance of pink spotted rashes all over the body. I believe that mothers would not want their babies to suffer such torture in such a situation. So, how many times do young children have rashes?
Childhood rash: usually only once
Generally speaking, infantile rash does not recur, which means that it only occurs once and does not recur after one occurrence. This is related to the cause of infantile rash. Undoubtedly, infantile rash is also caused by a virus, but this virus is different from other viruses. The virus can cause high fever in infants and young children. Immediately after high fever, a rash will appear, which will disappear completely. Throughout the process, the baby's condition is healthy and they will not feel uncomfortable or sick.
That is to say, such viruses will be released in the form of rashes as the baby's self-healing ability is enhanced, and the entire process will come to an end once all of them have been released. Throughout the entire process, the baby uses their own immune system for treatment, which is sufficient to adapt to and resist the symptoms of rash. So when the rash ends, the baby can develop permanent immunity to it and no longer relapse. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that weaker individuals may also experience a second occurrence, but this possibility is very low.
So, overall, if a child experiences a rash once, the likelihood of recurrence in the future is very low.
Precautions for rash in young children
1. Don't worry too much about high fever.
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.
3. Strengthen children's ability to resist virus invasion.
Childhood rash is a mild infectious disease, so parents can give their children a bag of Banlangen powder every day during winter and spring seasons to enhance their ability to resist viral invasion and prevent diseases.
