Baby's skin is very tender and feels very smooth to the touch. However, babies are prone to skin diseases such as prickly heat, diaper rash, and eczema. After a child develops eczema, not only should they receive timely treatment, but parents must also take good care of their baby on a daily basis. So, how to treat eczema in babies?
If the baby suffers from eczema and it is severe, they need to seek medical treatment. And medication should be given to children according to medical advice, rather than being used indiscriminately. The reason why babies suffer from eczema is mostly caused by allergies. So when a child falls ill, it is important to identify allergens as soon as possible. If the baby is still breastfeeding, the mother should pay more attention to her diet and avoid eating foods that can cause allergies, such as lamb and seafood.
If the baby's eczema is mild, parents can apply cold compresses to the child every day. Soak clean gauze in cold water and then apply it to the eczema area. You can apply it about 3 times a day, which can effectively relieve itching symptoms. You can also boil honeysuckle juice and apply it to the affected area. As long as you persist in applying it, it will take a few days to take effect.
After the baby develops eczema, the indoor temperature should be set lower and the humidity should not be too high. Because a high temperature and high humidity environment can worsen eczema and intensify itching. Baby's clothes should not be too thick or too many, and indoor air circulation should be maintained.
