How to treat tinea pedis in children

Tinea pedis is a very annoying disease that causes unbearable itching in patients. The complications it causes have seriously affected people's normal work and life, and also threatened people's physical and mental health. It makes patients lose their appetite and sleep well and they always want to scratch, which hurts a lot when they scratch themselves. Especially children, they will be in a bad mood if they are uncomfortable. Causing parents to worry. So how to treat tinea pedis and tinea manuum in children? I hope everyone can understand it.

1. Oral medication: Various oral antifungal drugs have emerged, such as itraconazole, fluconazole, terbinafine, etc. However, because this type of drug must reach the deck where the fungus is parasitic to exert its antibacterial effect, and because its solubility in water is low and slow, and its absorption and metabolism are very fast, the dosage is large and the use time is long. In addition, oral medications have side effects and are prone to relapse after discontinuation of medication.

2. External medications: Once drug resistance is detected, the medication should be adjusted in time. Some patients with ringworm feel that the effects of certain hormonal antibiotics are quite good when they first apply them, but after a long time, they feel that the drugs are no longer effective. In fact, this is caused by drug resistance.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine is the first choice for treating various types of ringworms: Use traditional Chinese medicine for external use to treat various types of ringworms. The main ingredients include: Smilax glabra, Sophora flavescens, White moss peel, Bombyx batryticatus, Whole worm, Centipede, White flower snake and other precious Chinese herbal medicines. Use large doses and high concentrations, first fumigate and then wash, each wash for more than 20 minutes, so that the drug can penetrate into the stratum corneum of the skin strongly, and completely kill all the ringworms parasitic in the stratum corneum of the skin, so that the ringworms can be treated holistically and cured, and the recurrence can be prevented.

4. Use a sufficient course of treatment: No matter what kind of medicine is used to treat ringworm, a certain course of treatment is required: 2 weeks for tinea corporis and tinea cruris, 4 to 6 weeks for tinea capitis and tinea manuum and pedis; onychomycosis requires more than 12 weeks. This is determined by the growth and reproduction patterns of fungi and the growth rate and metabolic process of the skin, nails and toenails. No new products can change this fact. Therefore, it is impossible for people to expect that some medicine can clean the body in one go and work with just one application, let alone hope that some medicine can eradicate the disease completely in one go.

5. You can buy terbinafine, miconazole or ketoconazole cream and apply it to the affected area 2-3 times a day. For skin lesions and erosions, 2% gentian violet solution can be applied externally. However, since fungal infections are deep in the skin, topical medications are difficult to cure. To completely cure tinea pedis and tinea manuum, you should go to the dermatology department of the hospital and use oral antifungal drugs such as itraconazole, fluconazole, etc. under the guidance of a doctor.

After reading the above introduction on how to treat tinea pedis in children, I think everyone should have some understanding. Parents should always pay attention to their children's physical health and mental state, and use a variety of methods and ways to change the symptoms of their children's illness through various channels. Remind your children to pay more attention to healthy eating. If a child is sick, treatment should be sought as soon as possible and not delayed.
