How to treat eczema in children

How to treat eczema in children? Eczema in children is very common, so there are already many medical treatments, and the medicines are countless. So as a mother, you don’t need to panic. Eczema does look very creepy, but it is easy to treat. You don’t need to worry that your child will have scars after being cured, because this disease will not reach the flesh, but only a very thin layer of skin will be inflamed, so naturally there will be no scars!

1. The general treatment principle is: find out the cause, treat the symptoms, feed reasonably, and provide careful care.

Generally speaking, we should first observe whether there is food allergy, especially allergy to animal protein such as milk, breast milk or egg white; secondly, the mother can eat fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, etc., which can also be passed to the baby through breast milk. After eating these animal foods, we should observe whether the baby's skin disease worsens. If it is related to the above situation, the baby should change the feeding method; such as breast milk allergy, use milk instead, milk allergy instead, or the mother should not eat fish, shrimp, crab and other foods during breastfeeding. At the same time, the baby's indigestion, constipation and diarrhea should be treated in time.

2. Commonly used internal medications include diphenhydramine syrup, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, etc. Antibiotics should be added when secondary infection occurs.

3. The topical medication should be determined according to the condition of skin lesions. When there is water exudation, erosion, redness or swelling, use 2% boric acid aqueous solution or 0.1 reflavonoid aqueous solution for wet compress. After the exudation and erosion disappear, use topical corticosteroid preparations, such as eczema cream, dehumidifying oil, skin relaxing cream, etc.

Here are some things to keep in mind when caring for a baby with eczema:

1. Avoid contact of irritating substances with the skin. Do not wash the affected area with alkaline soap or overly hot water. Do not apply cosmetics or any oils.

2. The room temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will aggravate the itching of eczema. Wear loose-fitting clothes, preferably made of pure cotton.

3. Breastfeeding can prevent eczema caused by allergy to foreign proteins caused by milk feeding.

4. During the period of infant eczema, do not vaccinate against smallpox (smallpox has disappeared and smallpox vaccination is no longer used), and do not come into contact with people with herpes simplex to avoid herpes.

Because it is an inflammation of the skin, in order to avoid infection or worsening of eczema, it is recommended that parents pay more attention to their children's cleanliness and let them drink more boiled water to promote metabolism so that their children's illness can heal faster! How to treat eczema in children? Naturally, go to the hospital to see a doctor. Both Chinese and Western medicine are very good.
