What should I do if my child gets prickly heat?

Children often get prickly heat in the summer, especially at night if the air conditioner is not turned on. A child cannot sleep normally. If the child has some waste paper on his body, he will feel itchy and painful, which makes the child feel very uncomfortable. The children at home would cry all the time, and sometimes they would scratch and ache when they sweat. So in order to prevent the children from getting prickly heat, we must pay more attention to taking care of the children in normal times. So what should we do if a child has prickly heat?

First, give your child a bath and keep his skin clean. The bath water temperature should be moderate. Do not apply too much powdered body care products to your child after washing, as this may mix with sweat and clog the sweat glands, leading to poor sweating and inflammation around the sweat glands.

Try not to let your child scratch his skin to avoid bacterial infection. When the child feels itchy, you can apply some cool anti-prickly heat water. Normally, you should keep your child away from activities outside. If you spend a long time outdoors, it is easy for your body to become hot and sweat, causing discomfort. Sweating will aggravate prickly heat and cause more prickly heat to grow.

Be sure to keep the room ventilated and cool, and bathe your child more often, at least once a day. Especially when you sweat after playing outside, you must take a shower and change clothes to prevent sweat from sticking to the skin and aggravating the symptoms and causing skin inflammation.

If a child gets prickly heat, he will feel itchy and cry and make a fuss, which will cause more red bumps to appear. Parents should note that children sweat a lot in summer, so they should wipe their children clean frequently to avoid ulcers and make the children more uncomfortable.

Let your child drink more water, as prickly heat is caused by internal heat. Whether it is summer or winter, whether the child is thirsty or not, the child should be given more water. Drinking more water can also prevent the child from catching a cold easily.

There are many prickly heat waters on the market, and not all of them are suitable for your children, so parents should not buy prickly heat water for their children blindly. Follow the doctor's orders.

When summer comes, remember not to let your children run around outside often. You must change your children's clothes regularly. You can apply some anti-prickly heat powder to your children when bathing. This can effectively prevent your children from getting prickly heat.
