How to care for baby's mouth eczema

After many babies are born, their parents find that their children have eczema around their mouths, which causes the children to cry constantly and even scratch with their hands. So for this phenomenon, we must first consider the influence of the mother's breast milk. The use of overly irritating foods in daily life can also cause eczema around the baby's mouth.

It takes time for a baby to drool. Newborn babies do not drool because their salivary glands are underdeveloped and secrete less saliva, so there is no excess saliva flowing out of their mouths. In addition, the baby's staple food at this time is milk or liquid food, which does not stimulate the salivary glands much. The teething period is the time when babies drool most frequently. When the deciduous teeth erupt, the small teeth push outward from the gums, which can cause mild swelling and discomfort in the gum tissue, stimulate the nerves on the gums, and reflexively increase the secretion of the salivary glands. As the baby grows and develops, children who develop faster will stop drooling when they are one and a half years old. Most children will gradually and effectively control their swallowing movements before the age of two due to the maturity of their muscle motor functions, and their mouths will no longer be wet. Don't worry. However, since saliva is acidic and contains digestive enzymes and other substances, they will not invade deeper layers because of the protection of the mucous membrane in the mouth. However, when saliva flows onto the skin, it can easily corrode the outermost stratum corneum of the skin, causing skin inflammation and triggering pediatric skin diseases such as eczema. So when your baby is drooling - 1. Wipe his saliva at any time. Do not use force when wiping, just wipe the saliva gently to avoid damaging the local skin. 2. Wash away saliva frequently with warm water, and then apply oil to protect the skin of the chin and neck. It is best to put a bib on your child to prevent saliva from staining his clothes. 3. The handkerchief used to wipe the baby's saliva should be soft and made of cotton, and should be washed and ironed frequently. 4. If the baby drools particularly heavily, you should go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are any abnormal symptoms in the baby's mouth, whether the swallowing function is normal, etc. 5. When a child sleeps on his stomach and drools, it will not have any impact on him. The pillow just needs to be washed and dried frequently to prevent bacteria from growing inside.

You have learned above about some care methods for babies with abnormal hearing. What we need to pay attention to in life is that we must give children timely care and treatment for this phenomenon, but we must not abuse drugs to avoid causing harm to the child's body.
