The problem of a cracked anus is more likely to occur in young babies, which can extend all the way to the genital area. Because the child is still young, some topical medications can be given to the child at this time, and there are no other good methods. It takes some time to cure a cracked anus, as children tend to defecate and urinate frequently. Let's take a look at what to do if a baby has a cracked anus?
A cracked anus in a baby is caused by excessively dry stool. When feeding the baby, do not mix the formula too thick. If breastfeeding, the mother should avoid eating foods that are prone to causing internal heat and adjust slowly. This can solve the problem of dry stool and improve the condition of cracked anus.
Pay attention to cleaning the wound properly. After each bowel movement or urination, rinse it thoroughly with water and keep it dry to avoid infection. Then apply some erythromycin ointment to help the wound heal faster.
If a baby has a cracked anus, it must not be covered. Try to let this area breathe, open the diaper or use a diaper to improve breathability and speed up wound recovery. As long as the care method is correct, the cracked area can recover in about seven days.
