How to treat baby's prickly heat

Summer is the peak season for baby prickly heat, because the temperature is high at this time, and babies sweat a lot, which will clog their sweat pores. However, although the sweat pores are blocked, the sweat glands that secrete sweat are still secreting, which leads to the occurrence of prickly heat. When babies get prickly heat, they will feel very painful, itchy and tingling, and may also develop an infection, so it is very important to treat prickly heat for babies. How to treat baby's prickly heat?

1. Pay attention to environmental ventilation to avoid overheating. When the temperature is too high, use air conditioning to lower the indoor temperature;

2. Pay attention to skin hygiene. If you see your child sweating profusely, you should wipe off the sweat in time, take a bath and change clothes frequently to keep the skin clean and dry;

3. Don't wear too much, avoid excessive sweating, and wear loose, breathable and moisture-absorbent cotton clothes;

4. In the hot summer, do not hold your baby in your arms all the time. Try to let your baby play alone on a cool mat to avoid prolonged heat dissipation in the arms of adults, which may cause prickly heat.

5. Babies should wear light and breathable pajamas when sleeping, and sleep on a breathable mat. Do not let the baby sleep on plastic sheets, and do not strip the baby naked to avoid direct skin irritation.

6. When going out, prepare sun hats, parasols, and children's sunglasses for your children, and apply children's sunscreen to the exposed skin of your children;

7. Drink more water, especially cold boiled water, drink mung bean soup and other refreshing drinks often, eat light and easily digestible food, and eat less greasy and irritating food.

8. The area should be cleaned with warm water, not cold or hot water. Although a cold shower may feel very cool and comfortable on the skin at first, it will cause the pores to shrink, which is not conducive to the smooth secretion of sweat glands. A hot shower will irritate inflamed prickly heat.

9. When using prickly heat powder, do not apply it on your child right after he or she has just taken a bath. You must wait until all the water on his or her body has dried before using it. When applying powder, be careful not to apply too much or too thickly at one time, so as to avoid accumulation of powder and aggravate the blockage of sweat pores.

After reading the above introduction, everyone has understood the problem of how to treat baby's prickly heat. Give the baby a bath more often, and it is best to use less shower gel, because shower gel will wash away the baby's normal skin protective film, and instead make the baby have no resistance. As long as the care is timely, the baby's pain can be relieved. This is just a small problem in raising a child. I believe everyone can solve it.
