What to do if your baby develops a rash after the fever subsides

The situation where a baby develops a rash on his skin after the fever subsides is also called roseola, or roseola, etc. It is generally a skin disease caused by external viral infection or skin bacteria. Especially in spring and autumn, the weather is relatively dry, which is the peak period for baby rash. If a baby develops a rash after the fever subsides, he needs to replenish his body water, let the child rest as much as possible, and pay more attention to the factors in daily life.

What to do if your baby has a rash after a fever

1. Let the baby rest. The ward should be quiet, the air should be fresh, and the quilt should not be too thick or too much.

2. Keep the skin clean and hygienic, and wipe off the sweat on your child's body frequently to prevent him from catching a cold.

3. Let your child drink more boiled water or fruit juice to facilitate sweating and urination, and promote the excretion of toxins.

4. Eat liquid or semi-liquid food.

5. When the body temperature exceeds 39°C, you can wipe the child's body with warm water or 50% alcohol to prevent convulsions caused by high fever.

6. Appropriate use of antiviral drugs: When the baby starts to develop a rash after the fever subsides, take antiviral drugs such as ribavirin appropriately. Antibiotic treatment is generally ineffective. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect in treating this disease. When the fever first occurs, you can take heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs under the guidance of a doctor. After the rash appears, take some detoxifying and rash-clearing drugs to help excrete pathogens and toxins in the body.

7. Reduce fever promptly when fever is high: The main symptom of roseola infantum in the early stage of the disease is high fever, so the focus of treatment is to reduce fever. Among them, physical cooling is a relatively safe method of reducing fever, but it may be difficult to reduce fever quickly when the body temperature is too high. There are many physical cooling methods. You can apply a towel soaked in cold water to the forehead, or take an alcohol and warm water bath to wipe the child's neck, armpits, elbows, groin and other wrinkled areas to help dissipate heat.

1. Body temperature quickly returns to normal.

2. Small, clear pink spotted rashes appear, mostly on the head and trunk, and may last for about 4 days.
