Infantile rash is closely related to fever. A rash can cause a fever, and if the fever symptoms persist, mothers will be very worried. So when it comes to infantile rashes, there are many things that need to be paid attention to. Let me explain them to you below.
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 Banlangen every day during winter and spring seasons to strengthen their ability to resist viral invasion and prevent diseases.
Can infantile rash be contagious
Childhood rash is an acute infectious disease caused by a virus, usually transmitted by saliva carried out from the respiratory tract. So it is contagious. If your child has close contact with a sick child and lacks immunity, there is a high possibility of being infected. Due to the incubation period of infantile rash being 1-2 weeks, it is important to closely monitor your child during this time. If a high fever occurs, immediate measures should be taken to temporarily isolate the child to prevent further transmission. If the child is still safe and sound after 2 weeks, it means that they have not been infected with the virus causing infantile rash. The key to preventing infantile rashes is to avoid contact with children who suffer from infantile rashes.
Treatment methods for rash
There is no special treatment for infantile rash. Like most viral diseases, infantile rash also needs to go through the entire onset period. When you see your baby have a fever, you should still take him to the hospital and listen to the doctor's guidance on treating the rash in young children. The most important thing you can do is to ensure that your baby is well rested and replenished with sufficient fluids. For breastfed babies, you can increase the number of feedings. For artificially fed babies, in addition to drinking milk, you should also increase the number of feedings. For babies who have already started adding complementary foods, they can also be fed diluted fruit juice. Note that a direct manifestation of a baby's adequate hydration is clear urine color.
Understand the precautions for rashes clearly, and also learn about whether they are contagious and their treatment methods, just in case.
