Urticaria is a common skin disease, which has a high incidence rate, especially in young children, who are particularly vulnerable to urticaria. Generally, after a child falls ill, there will be many rashes on the affected area, accompanied by severe itching. So, what should I do if a baby develops hives?
If a baby suffers from urticaria, it is usually caused by allergies. So it is necessary to promptly search for allergens and then keep the child away. If the child continues to be exposed to allergens, it can lead to persistent urticaria. Antiallergic drugs are usually used to treat urticaria.
Due to the itching caused by urticaria, parents should avoid scratching their children with their hands after they become ill. Otherwise, not only will it itch more and more, but it is also easy to scratch the skin and cause skin infections. Parents can give their children some topical medications for treating urticaria, which can effectively relieve itching.
Urticaria is not difficult to treat, but parents need to take good care of their children during the treatment period. For example, attention should be paid to diet and children should not eat stimulating foods. If the baby is still breastfeeding, mothers should also adjust their diet structure. In addition, it is necessary to maintain the hygiene of the affected area, but when cleaning, never use hot water, otherwise it will stimulate the affected area and make the itching symptoms more severe.
