Childhood rash is a common viral infectious disease among infants and young children. Most of the symptoms are recurrent fever in the body. After the fever subsides, the herpes will appear. Then the baby can relieve the rash by drinking plenty of water and taking oral medication. Although the onset is urgent and the reaction is strong, after the infantile rash is cured, there will be no recurrence and lifelong immunity can be obtained. So, what's wrong with the lack of energy after the infantile rash appears?
What's going on when a child has a rash and lacks energy
1. During the onset of infantile rash, there is no significant change in the child's body temperature and mental state, and there will be no obvious drowsiness. However, there may be a sudden high fever in the early stages, which usually lasts for about 4 days. After the fever subsides, rose colored papules will appear all over the body. If high fever and rash occur at the same time, rubella or measles should be considered.
2. Usually, special treatment is not necessary. Once the fever rash appears, it is OK. Physical cooling or appropriate use of small amounts of antipyretic drugs can be administered to prevent seizures. Young mothers should not rush to reduce their child's fever in such situations! Remember! When experiencing high fever, irritability, or easy startle, antipyretic sedatives can be used. If the fever persists, it is necessary to replenish more fluids, such as drinking plain water, vegetable soup, fruit juice, etc.
The causes of infantile rash
1. Childhood rash, also known as infantile rose rash or burn rash, is a common acute infectious disease caused by human herpesvirus 6 infection in infants and young children. When the disease occurs, irregular erythema appears on the back, neck, and other parts of the body.
2. Mild cold symptoms or persistent high temperatures appear within 3-5 days, and rashes appear within 12-24 hours after fever subsides. Most babies' symptoms will disappear within 1-3 days. The baby will not feel itchy and will recover in about a week, except for special circumstances, so there is no need to worry too much.
Childhood rash occurs in the early stages of infection due to the presence of fever. Therefore, it is normal for young children to lack energy during this period. Moreover, rash only appears after the high fever subsides. Parents need to pay attention to the symptoms and physical reactions of their babies, and take targeted care of their physical reactions during the rash period, especially by drinking plenty of water.
