What should I do if my baby is infected with athlete's foot?

Athlete's foot is a relatively common fungal infection. In some families, parents have athlete's foot, and later they find that their children are also infected with it. What should they do? Many parents are very worried about this. Today I will introduce to you what to do if your baby is infected with athlete’s foot. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Friends in need can take a look.

Athlete's foot in babies is also easily transmitted and very difficult to treat once infected.

To protect children's feet, parents should start with themselves. In some families, the father has athlete's foot and the mother has vaginitis. Children in such families are particularly likely to suffer from fungal infections on their feet. Fungi are very capable of "traveling long distances", so parents must pay attention to this.

Doctors emphasize that if one of the parents suffers from athlete's foot, they must make sure to strictly separate the child's toiletries from those of adults. After the child takes a bath or washes his feet, use a cotton swab to wipe the water between the toes, especially for fatter children, as water is likely to remain between the toes. This can prevent athlete's foot infection in infants and young children.

Because the temperature between little feet is not lower than that of the leg hollows and neck. With a certain amount of humidity and moisture, it is easy for fungi to grow, making it more likely to be infected by parents' athlete's foot.

To prevent adults from transmitting fungi to children, even if the adult does not have athlete's foot, do not put adult and children's clothes together. It is best to dry children's clothes in the sun with an open window.

Even if the father does not have athlete's foot and the mother does not have gynecological inflammation, they must not hold the child in the bathtub together. It is best to wash your hands before bathing the child and before holding the child after doing housework.

Children's shoes should be placed in a ventilated and dry place. It is best to put them outdoors to dry and blow before wearing them. When friends and relatives come to visit, it is best to have the guests wear shoe covers and avoid using slippers, which can cause cross-infection of fungi.

What should I do if my baby is infected with athlete's foot? The above content has told us the solution in detail. I believe everyone must know the solution now. I hope everyone can pay attention to it and keep family members’ toiletries separate from children’s. This can effectively prevent athlete’s foot from being transmitted to children.
