Newborn rash with white tips

In real life, the rash on the newborn's body is a very common type of roseola infantum. The rash on the baby's skin will not only easily lead to fever, but also easily cause some other complications, which will have a great impact on the physical health of the newborn. The appearance of white tips on the newborn's rash is also a relatively common symptom. It is caused by viral infection and needs to be treated in time.

The rash with white tips on newborns is medically known as roseola infantum. Roseola infantum, also known as fever rash or roseola, is a sudden rash caused by a viral infection. It can occur throughout the year, but is more common in spring and autumn. The incubation period of roseola infantum is approximately 10-15 days. Although it is a contagious disease, it is very safe and will not spread as widely as measles or chickenpox. The chance of family members being infected at the same time is low.

Baby rash care after 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.

Baby rash precautions

1. Pay attention to reducing your baby's fever. When the fever is high, you can use physical cooling methods to reduce the temperature by giving your baby a warm bath or wiping the body with warm water.

2. Try to avoid outdoor activities as much as possible. It is best to let the child rest in bed more. The room should be quiet and comfortable, the air should be fresh and circulated, and the quilt should not be too thick or too many to avoid internal heat.

3. Keep your skin clean and hygienic. You can give your baby warm water baths frequently, wipe off the sweat on the child's body in time, and avoid drafts to prevent the baby from catching a cold. This can also prevent the baby with the rash from getting infected. Avoid scrubbing the rash with alkaline soaps. Do not let your child scratch the rash as this may break the skin and cause infection. Also, do not apply medicine randomly and try not to irritate the skin.

4. The diet should be light and easy to digest. If your baby has a fever, you can give him liquid or semi-liquid food.

5. Drink more water. You can give your baby more warm water to prevent dehydration due to fever, and it can also promote sweating and urination, allowing toxins to be excreted from the body.

6. Supplement vitamins. Appropriate supplementation of B vitamins and vitamin C under the guidance of a doctor can help alleviate the condition.

7. Pay attention to isolation. Avoid cross infection and prevent the spread of infection from babies with rashes.
