How to treat baby heat rash

The baby's body is relatively weak. When many people take care of the baby, in order to prevent the baby from getting cold, they will dress the baby in a lot of clothes. In fact, this practice is wrong. Many children have a strong temper. If they wear too many clothes, it may cause heat rash. Once the baby has heat rash, it will make the baby very uncomfortable, and the parents will feel very distressed. Next, I will introduce to you several methods of dealing with baby heat rash. Mothers can learn more and don’t use the wrong method. Not only will it not improve the heat rash, but it will bring harm.

1. Cool

Do not cover your baby up, as children are not afraid of cold but heat. Our baby is actually very cold-weathered. Even in the snow in the winter, he only wears a thin one-piece underwear and covers his face with a towel. Despite this, I still got heat rash, so I just kept it cooler, with the windows ajar and the door open during the day.

2. Honeysuckle water

I am generally against giving children medication. As long as the condition is not serious, it is better not to go to the hospital or take medication. In a small pot, boil 20-30 grams of honeysuckle in water. After the water boils, simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes to boil out the honeysuckle juice. Use clean gauze to dip warm honeysuckle water on your baby's face 3-4 times a day.

3. Avoid certain foods

Mothers should avoid certain foods and stop eating the following high-protein foods: milk, eggs, soy products, pig's trotters, fish, shrimps and other high-protein foods. Until the baby is well again! Breastfeeding mothers can drink pork rib soup instead, as meat soups can increase milk production.

4. Gloves

Heat rash is itchy and affects the baby's sleep, and the baby always wants to dig it with his hands. In order to prevent infection due to being dug, make your baby wear gloves when sleeping at night (the choice of gloves should be particular, they should be made of cotton and without threads, and the baby will eat them after scalding them in boiling water). During the day, when someone is watching, you can take off the gloves to free your baby's hands.

5. Breathable

Undress your child to see if he or she is really too hot.

Give your child a good bath with warm water. There is no need to wipe the water off the child's body completely. The child's skin can be cooled down smoothly by the evaporation process of the water remaining on the skin.

Be sure to let your child wear pure cotton underwear, which is more breathable and easy to absorb sweat. The clothes you give your children must be appropriate. Don't think that the more clothes they wear, the better.

Pay attention to the ventilation of the baby's room and the temperature should not be too high.

If the child's heat rash has not subsided after 12 hours of the above treatment, the child should be taken to the hospital for treatment.
