What is childhood rash

When parents are taking care of their children, they need to be more cautious about any abnormal conditions in their children's bodies, especially some children are prone to roseola infantum, which may cause greater harm to their bodies. So let us give you a detailed introduction to what roseola infantum is and how to effectively deal with it in children.

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. It is common in babies between 6 months and 1 year old. The incubation period of roseola infantum is approximately 10 to 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.

Symptoms: The baby first has a high fever that lasts for 3 to 4 days, with the body temperature between 39 and 40 degrees. After the fever subsides, a rash quickly appears all over the body and disappears quickly, without desquamation or pigmentation. These babies also have fever before the rash appears, and the fever can be quite high, but the symptoms of a cold are not obvious. Their spirits, appetite, etc. are all good (this is very similar to your baby). The throat may be a little red, and the lymph nodes in the neck and occipital region can be felt, but there is no tenderness. There are no other symptoms or physical signs. When the body temperature is about to subside or has already subsided and a rose-red rash appears all over the body, people suddenly realize that the roseola infantum is almost over. Roseola infantum has no effect on the baby's health, and once it occurs, the baby will be immune for life.

Nursing: Let the child rest. The ward should be quiet, the air should be fresh, and the quilt should not be too thick or too many. ?Keep the skin clean and hygienic, and wipe off the sweat on your child's body frequently to prevent him from catching a cold. ?Give your child plenty of boiled water or fruit juice to promote sweating and urination, and promote the excretion of toxins. Eat a liquid or semi-liquid diet. ?When the body temperature exceeds 39 degrees, you can wipe the child's body with warm water or 37% alcohol to prevent convulsions caused by high fever.
