Rash is a common viral rose rash in infants and young children in daily life. It is most likely to occur in children between six and eighteen months old. The typical symptom of a rash in children is a fever that lasts for several days, and strict care is needed after the rash appears. So, what should we do if a child has a rash?
Childhood rash is a benign rash, so there is no need to worry, special care, or treatment. As long as nursing is strengthened and appropriate symptomatic treatment is given, it will heal on its own in a few days. After the rash appears, it usually subsides within three to four days. During this period, it is important to drink plenty of water and consume liquid or semi liquid foods to replenish the lost water from high fever and ensure adequate sleep, which is beneficial for the body's recovery. Do not blow in the wind, try to minimize going out, and wipe dry immediately after taking a shower.
There is currently no specific treatment for infantile rash, and antibiotic therapy is ineffective. Only symptomatic treatment is needed. When there is high fever, irritability, or easy convulsions during breathing, antipyretic sedatives can be used. If the high fever persists, it is necessary to add more fluids, drink more water, vegetable soup, fruit juice, etc.
Pay attention to letting the sick child rest more, keep the ward quiet, keep the air fresh, and do not cover the bed too thick or too much. To maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the skin, it is important to regularly wipe sweat stains off the body of young children to prevent them from catching a cold. When the body temperature exceeds 39 ℃, warm water or 50% alcohol can be used to wipe the body of young children to prevent them from experiencing diarrhea due to high fever.
