Due to the inability to know when a newborn baby needs to use the toilet, many parents use diapers to effectively prevent the baby from wetting their clothes and reducing the possibility of illness. However, if diapers are not changed in a timely manner, it can also pose a threat to the baby's reproductive health. So, what should be done for 3-year-old children with red and swollen chicks.
What to do if a 3-year-old child's chick is red and swollen
If a 3-year-old child develops redness and swelling in their chicks, it may be caused by local infection or allergic dermatitis due to vulvitis. It is recommended that parents take their children to the pediatric department of the hospital for examination as soon as possible, clarify the cause, and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child's local hygiene and cleaning, changing underwear frequently, wearing loose cotton underwear as much as possible, not giving the child some stimulating food, and especially not letting the child scratch the affected area with their hands to worsen the infection.
Health knowledge of 3-year-old children's chicks
1. Correct cleaning of chicks: Gently open the foreskin opening and rinse, wash as much as possible.
2. Manual expansion of foreskin opening: Generally, starting from 6 months after birth, babies with tight foreskin opening can undergo manual expansion treatment for phimosis.
3. After cleaning the external genitalia every day, parents can stack the foreskin on their fingers and feel that the narrow ring of the foreskin is as tight as a rubber band and turns white for a few seconds. Gradually, the foreskin opening will become loose and the glans will also be exposed. Note that the amplitude of each upward flip should not be too large. The newly exposed glans is particularly sensitive and should be soaked and gently touched. After cleaning, it should be promptly flipped down and reset to avoid foreskin entrapment. If the foreskin cannot be easily retracted before school age, circumcision surgery may be considered.
3-year-old children, due to their young age, often do not have a good understanding of cleanliness and hygiene knowledge. Therefore, as parents, it is necessary to gradually educate children on how to do a good job in daily cleaning and hygiene work. In addition, if they go out and go home, they must wash their hands in a timely manner, take a shower every day, and change clothes frequently in order to reduce the invasion of bacteria on children and reduce the risk of illness.
