How to take care of roseola infantum rash?

It is very common for young children to have rashes on their skin. Most of the time it is caused by skin allergies. As long as parents know some care methods, they can relieve and treat them well. If the rash appears due to a high fever, you need to take measures to reduce the child's fever and provide the child with appropriate nutritional supplements. Never use alcohol to apply to the skin.

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. Appropriate use of antipyretic drugs for infants and young children containing "paracetamol" or "ibuprofen" ingredients. Once convulsions occur, sodium phenobarbital or chloral hydrate should be given, and appropriate fluid replacement can be given. Bromide and phenobarbital are prone to cause rash and should be avoided at this time to reduce diagnostic difficulties. In addition, alcohol baths can easily irritate the delicate skin of children, and it is difficult to distinguish between skin redness and rashes, so it is recommended to use them less.

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.
