Among the four seasons of the year, many of our friends may prefer the spring when the weather is warm and the flowers are blooming. So while enjoying the beautiful scenery of spring, don’t forget that it is also the season when many diseases occur after the spring warms up. We must also protect our bodies well, especially for babies with poor resistance. Parents should pay more attention to their babies’ health at this time. Today, the editor will talk to you in detail about some baby care methods in spring. Come and learn about it quickly! Dry skin In early spring, the climate is slightly dry, and the sebaceous glands of infants and young children do not secrete and metabolize vigorously, making their delicate skin itchy. Care methods: When parents bathe their babies, they should use warm water and use less bath products. After bathing and washing your face, you can apply a baby moisturizer with natural ingredients and no special additives. Baby's clothes should be soft and baby-specific detergents should be used for washing. Parents should let their babies drink more water and eat more fruits rich in water, such as pears, oranges, grapefruits, etc., to keep the skin moisturized. Baby eczema This is an allergic skin disease in infants and young children. Pollen, dust mites, and dust in the air in spring; certain allergenic foods such as fish, shrimp, crab, peanuts, etc.; and synthetic clothing are all important factors that trigger eczema. The rash is mainly on the face of the children, and the itching is unbearable, causing them to be irritable, cry loudly, and have difficulty sleeping. Care methods: Avoid using hot water to wash the eczema area, and do not use soap or highly irritating topical medications. Children's clothes, quilts and diapers should be soft. Do not use chemical fiber clothing materials, cotton products are preferred. Food intake should be appropriately restricted, with special attention paid to fish, shrimp, crab, milk, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, which may aggravate eczema. Avoid breathing dust and pollen. Avoid catching colds during the eczema period and do not receive any vaccines for the time being to avoid aggravating the condition. Angular cheilitis The weather has been dry recently. If infants and young children do not take in enough vitamins, the corners of their mouths and the surrounding skin are prone to dryness and cracking, causing discomfort. Babies will lick their lips and surrounding skin with their tongues. Repeated immersion of the skin in saliva can easily cause inflammation of the skin around the lips. Care methods: Due to the stimulation of inflammation, the baby will lick the affected area with his tongue from time to time, or even use his hands to peel off the scabs. Parents should correct the baby's bad habits such as licking the tongue and sucking fingers in time. When the baby's lips are chapped, parents can apply 50% glycerin or baby lip balm to the baby. Usually, you should eat more vegetables and fruits, replenish water in time, and take appropriate amounts of vitamin B complex. Pityriasis simplex In spring, infants and young children often develop flaky red spots on their faces and around their eyes, which are covered with fine scales. This is called pityriasis simplex. This is due to the windy and dry spring weather, long sunshine hours and vitamin deficiency. Care methods: Avoid wind and don't stay in the sun for too long. Apply 50% glycerin. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, carrots, etc. Seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp Infants and young children are prone to seborrheic dermatitis in spring. Initially, reddish patches appear on the scalp, followed by gradual production of dandruff and scabs, covering the head with a layer of yellow greasy scales. Inflammation may occur under the scabs, and the baby feels very uncomfortable and itchy. In severe cases, there is also a rash between the eyebrows, forehead, and cheeks. Care methods: In terms of diet, you should pay attention to eating more protein foods, less sugary foods, drinking plenty of water, and supplementing riboflavin (vitamin B2). You can apply glycerin or boiled and sterilized vegetable oil on the scab 3 times a day. After the scab becomes soft, comb it slowly and gently with a small comb to comb off the thick scab, wash it with neutral baby soap and warm water, and apply sulfur ointment. After reading the detailed introduction above, I think parents should now understand that we must take good care of our baby's health in the spring. Do it in different ways in different aspects. Let your baby spend the Spring Festival more healthily. |
