Preschool rash has just appeared, which is an acute infectious disease mainly caused by viruses. Mothers need to understand the treatment methods for childhood rashes, the infectivity of rashes, and the symptoms of rashes. If the baby falls ill, mothers won't be so nervous.
1、 Treatment methods
Treatment principle: This disease is a self limiting disease and there is no special treatment method. The main focus is on strengthening nursing and symptomatic treatment.
General treatment: The child should rest in bed, pay attention to isolation, avoid cross infection, drink more water, give easily digestible foods, and supplement vitamins B, C, etc. appropriately.
2、 Can infantile rash be contagious
During early childhood, high fever often occurs suddenly, and after the fever subsides, rose colored papules appear all over the body, which often confuses parents. In fact, this condition is medically called infantile rash.
The clinical characteristics of infantile rash are sudden onset of high fever, which can reach 39.5 degrees or above. The fever usually lasts for 3-4 days, and then the body temperature suddenly drops to normal. Rose colored papules appear all over the body during or several hours to 1-2 days after the fever subsides. The entire course of the disease takes about 8-10 days.
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.
3、 Preschool rash symptoms
This disease is mainly seen in infants under one year old, and can occur in all seasons. It is extremely rare to be infected twice or more in one's lifetime. Its clinical manifestations are sudden onset, high fever reaching 39-40 ℃, lasting for 3-5 days, natural sudden drop, and immediate improvement in mental state. Its characteristic is that the fever subsides and the rash appears, or the rash appears and the heat subsides. The rash is often irregular and consists of small rose spots, which can also merge into one piece and disappear under pressure. First seen in the neck and torso, quickly spreading throughout the body, with more around the waist and hips. The rash will disappear within 1-2 days without leaving any pigmentation spots. This disease may have respiratory or digestive symptoms such as pharyngitis and diarrhea before the rash appears, and the lymph nodes around the neck are generally enlarged, which is very meaningful for the diagnosis of rash in young children.
Preschool rash should be treated promptly, otherwise it will cause many problems. In addition, mothers should encourage their children to exercise more, improve their immune system, and actively prevent rashes.
