Urticaria in 8-month-old infants may be caused by multiple factors. After timely treatment, in order to prevent the condition from recurring, family members also need to pay special attention to some situations and take protective measures for the baby. So, what should be paid attention to when an 8-month-old baby develops measles?
1. Measure body temperature every half hour and perform physical cooling when there is a high fever. If a child with measles suddenly has a fever, there is no need to panic too much. Firstly, if the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, physical cooling can be used for treatment. Apply antipyretic patches to the forehead of children with measles, and use alcohol to wipe the affected areas such as palms, soles, necks, and armpits.
2. Do not take children with measles out, provide them with plain water and vitamin supplements, and do not cover them too thickly when sleeping at night. At this time, children with measles should not go out to see the wind, and indoor air should be kept fresh.
3. After the rash appears, do not let measles patients scratch or take a shower. After the fever subsides in three to four days, the rash will appear, with red spots mainly distributed on the chest, back, neck, face, arms, buttocks, and other areas. At this time, measles patients may feel itchy skin. Do not scratch it, otherwise it is easy to cause inflammation. After two or three days, the itching will gradually disappear without leaving any traces. You can accompany the sick child to do things he likes, use toys to tease him, and divert his attention.
4. Seek medical attention promptly. After the measles situation improves, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment, inquire about the follow-up recovery, and avoid scarring.
