Many people believe that little babies' fingernails are generally not susceptible to fungal infections, such as onychomycosis; In fact, babies can also be infected with bacteria and develop onychomycosis. So, what should I do if my baby has a hand infection?
1. Avoid or minimize the use of oral medications for treatment, as these medications often damage liver function and may have even greater side effects in infants who are underage.
2. File the nails infected with fungi thinly, disinfect them, and then apply therapeutic ointment; If the therapeutic effect cannot be achieved, one should go to the hospital to see a doctor. After treatment, it is important to create an environment for the child to avoid reinfection and prevent recurrence.
3. Remind children to pay attention to hand and foot hygiene, guide them to develop the habit of washing hands and feet frequently, and avoid sharing toiletries with others.
4. Adequate sleep and appropriate exercise can enhance children's body's resistance and effectively improve their ability to fight against fungal infections.
5. When it comes to diet, don't think of it as a desire to explore your mouth and stomach. Strive for a light diet and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Here, it should be emphasized that spicy and stimulating foods can accelerate the excretion of sweat, which is particularly beneficial for the growth and reproduction of fungi; Fatty and sweet foods, such as fried foods, are prone to moisture and heat accumulation, creating a "livable" environment for fungi. So you must keep your mouth shut.
6. Shoes and socks should pay attention to breathability and sweat absorption. If possible, they can be changed or washed every day, while also doing a good job of drying and disinfecting.
