What should I do if my baby is covered with prickly heat?

Every summer, mothers are always worried about their babies getting prickly heat, especially when the weather is hot and humid, which can easily cause children to have prickly heat all over their bodies. Letting the children stay in the air-conditioned room all day long makes mothers worry that their children will get air-conditioning disease. So what should they do if their babies are covered with prickly heat? Let me introduce it to you below!

To prevent your baby from getting prickly heat, you need to pay attention to many aspects such as diet, clothing, and environment. Keep the environment cool. When the temperature is too high, you can use electric fans and air conditioners appropriately, but be careful not to let the wind blow directly on the baby.

If you see your child sweating profusely, you should wipe off the sweat in time and do not wipe it with a cold towel. The stimulation of cold water can cause the openings of sweat glands to close suddenly, making it more likely to get prickly heat.

At the same time, bathe your child frequently, 2-3 times a day; the water temperature should not be too cold or too hot, about 38-42°C is appropriate. You can add "Ten Drops of Water" when bathing. Generally, 5 liters of bath water can be added with half a bottle of Ten Drops of Water to bathe your child. Be careful not to use soap, bath gel, etc. Do not apply too much talcum powder to your baby after bathing, so as to avoid it mixing with sweat and clogging the sweat glands, causing the baby to sweat poorly and causing prickly heat.

To prevent babies from getting prickly heat, it is best to use topical medications. The treatment of prickly heat is mainly symptomatic and relieving itching. Dietary adjustments can be made, and oral medication is generally not recommended. To treat prickly heat, you can use watermelon or antipruritic drugs, such as 3% boric acid solution, prickly heat powder or calamine lotion. You can also apply Huoxiang Zhengqi water, prickly heat water, etc. to the affected area; Ten Drops of Water, floral water, etc. can also treat prickly heat.

Watermelon can calm people, quench thirst and relieve heat. The white part of watermelon is effective in treating prickly heat. When children get prickly heat, you can use the white part of the watermelon to gently rub the affected area. This is very effective. Repeat two or three times to stop the itching.

After reading the editor's introduction, I believe mothers have a certain understanding of children's prickly heat. Of course, it is best to prevent children from having this situation and pay more attention to caring for the baby. After all, when prickly heat appears, children will feel uncomfortable. As long as you pay more attention to it in normal times, this phenomenon will generally not occur. Caring for children starts with details!
