How to treat a baby with a fever and rash?

Parents are very worried if their babies have even the slightest problem. After all, children today are more easily affected by external factors than the previous generation. For example, some babies may catch a cold and have a fever due to the weather, and at the same time, some rashes may appear on their skin. So, how to treat a fever and rash at the same time?

What to do if your baby has a rash after a fever

1. Let the baby rest. The ward should be quiet, the air should be fresh, and the quilt should not be too thick or too much.

2. Keep the skin clean and hygienic, and wipe off the sweat on your child's body frequently to prevent him from catching a cold.

3. Let your child drink more boiled water or fruit juice to facilitate sweating and urination, and promote the excretion of toxins.

4. Eat liquid or semi-liquid food.

5. When the body temperature exceeds 39°C, you can wipe the child's body with warm water or 50% alcohol to prevent convulsions caused by high fever.

6. Appropriate use of antiviral drugs: When the baby starts to develop a rash after the fever subsides, take antiviral drugs such as ribavirin appropriately. Antibiotic treatment is generally ineffective. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect in treating this disease. When the fever first occurs, you can take heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs under the guidance of a doctor. After the rash appears, take some detoxifying and rash-clearing drugs to help excrete pathogens and toxins in the body.

7. Reduce fever promptly when fever is high: The main symptom of roseola infantum in the early stage of the disease is high fever, so the focus of treatment is to reduce fever. Among them, physical cooling is a relatively safe method of reducing fever, but it may be difficult to reduce fever quickly when the body temperature is too high. There are many physical cooling methods. You can apply a towel soaked in cold water to the forehead, or take an alcohol and warm water bath to wipe the child's neck, armpits, elbows, groin and other wrinkled areas to help dissipate heat.
