What to do if your child has a rash

Because children's physical constitution is relatively poor, many people often develop rashes on their bodies due to their daily lives. It is not ruled out that the rashes are caused by allergies or poor immunity. Try not to take medicine in normal times, because all medicines are toxic. Some rashes may slowly recover over time. You can usually use some soups and water to regulate your body.

Diet and health care

1. Rubella diet therapy:

1): Tofu and mung bean soup - clearing away heat and detoxifying

Ingredients: 30 grams of mung beans, 30 grams of tofu, and appropriate amount of rock sugar.

Preparation method: Wash the mung beans, put them in a pot, add appropriate amount of water, soak for an hour and then cook them, add tofu, cook for another 20 minutes, add rock sugar and let it melt.

Directions: Take with meals (omit sugar for diabetics).

2): Bitter Melon and Tofu Soup - Clears away heat and detoxifies, helps in digestion, and can also detoxify alcohol

Ingredients: 150 grams of bitter gourd, 100 grams of lean pork, 400 grams of tofu, appropriate amounts of cooking wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, refined salt, MSG, and vegetable oil.

Preventive Care

Because the symptoms of this disease are mostly mild and the prognosis is generally good, special prevention does not seem to be needed. However, congenital rubella is very harmful and can cause stillbirth, premature birth or multiple congenital malformations. Therefore, prevention should focus on congenital rubella.

1. Isolation and quarantine The patient should be isolated for 5 days after the rash appears. However, the symptoms of this disease are mild and there are many people who are latently infected, so it is easy to be ignored and difficult to isolate them all. General contacts do not need to be quarantined, but pregnant women, especially those in the early stages of pregnancy, should try to avoid contact with rubella patients during the rubella epidemic.

2. Auto-immunity: Rubella live attenuated vaccines have been widely used internationally for more than 10 years and have been proven to be safe and effective. The antibody conversion rate after vaccination is over 95%. Only a few cases have short-term fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes, and swollen and painful joints after vaccination. The durability of antibodies after immunization can mostly be maintained for more than 7 years. Different countries have not yet reached a consensus on the targets of vaccination. For example, the United States advocates that adolescents aged 1 to adolescence, especially children in kindergartens and elementary schools, are the main targets of immunization, because children have the highest incidence of rubella and it can be transmitted to adults such as pregnant women. Adolescents and adult women should also be vaccinated. Congenital rubella has been significantly reduced after vaccination. Although we do not know enough about the impact of rubella vaccine virus strains on humans and fetuses, the weak virus in live vaccines can indeed pass through the placenta and infect fetuses, so pregnant women should not receive such live vaccines. Rubella vaccines have long been used in combination with measles and mumps vaccines. Some places in my country, such as Shanghai, Wuhan and Shandong, have long been able to prepare live attenuated rubella vaccines, which can produce a high antibody positivity rate. Shanghai has begun to use live attenuated rubella vaccine and will gradually incorporate it into the immunization program. In addition to children, the key immunization targets also include pre-married women of childbearing age, including female students in high school and junior high school graduating classes. Research on the protective effect and duration of rubella vaccine is still in-depth.
