When a baby suffers from infantile measles, the mother becomes particularly anxious. But most mothers do not have basic nursing knowledge and are helpless in the face of their baby's condition. If mothers can learn more about this knowledge to help their babies recover, then let's learn about how to care for measles in children?
1. Encourage the baby to drink more water
In the early stages of childhood measles, babies will have a high fever for several consecutive days. During this period, mothers should pay attention to giving their babies plenty of water and timely replenishing the water lost during the high fever period. But mothers must avoid giving their babies antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Because in the early stages of measles, in order to help the rash develop quickly, taking medication recklessly can be detrimental to the condition and even put the baby's life in danger.
2. Pay attention to indoor ventilation
Some mothers believe that their babies should not be exposed to wind during the period of rash, so the windows at home are tightly closed, fearing that the wind will worsen their condition. However, this approach has its drawbacks, as the measles virus loses its ability to cure within 20 minutes of exposure to ventilation and sunlight. Therefore, frequent indoor ventilation is beneficial for the baby's condition.
However, mothers need to be careful not to let their babies directly blow or expose them to the sun. When opening the window, it is forbidden to let the baby go to the window, and it is also best to use thin curtains to expose them to the sun.
