What should I do if my baby has red spots on his body?

I believe everyone is familiar with the symptoms of red spots on the baby's body. Although the red spots on the baby's body will not threaten the baby's physical health, parents should not underestimate this symptom. Once the baby is found to have red spots on the body, it must be taken seriously and help the baby to deal with this symptom in time. In the following article, we will introduce to you what to do if the baby has red spots on the body.

1. The general treatment principle is: find out the cause, treat the symptoms, feed reasonably, and provide careful care.

Generally speaking, we should first observe whether there is food allergy, especially allergy to animal protein such as milk, breast milk or egg white; secondly, the mother can eat fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, etc., which can also be passed to the baby through breast milk. After eating these animal foods, we should observe whether the baby's skin disease worsens. If it is related to the above situation, the baby should change the feeding method; such as breast milk allergy, use milk instead, milk allergy instead, or the mother should not eat fish, shrimp, crab and other foods during breastfeeding. At the same time, the baby's indigestion, constipation and diarrhea should be treated in time.

2. Commonly used internal medications include diphenhydramine syrup, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, etc. Antibiotics should be added when secondary infection occurs.

3. The topical medication should be determined according to the condition of skin lesions. When there is water exudation, erosion, redness or swelling, use 2% boric acid aqueous solution or 0.1 reflavonoid aqueous solution for wet compress. After the exudation and erosion disappear, use topical corticosteroid preparations, such as eczema cream, dehumidifying oil, skin relaxing cream, etc.

Here are some things to keep in mind when caring for a baby with eczema:

1. Avoid contact of irritating substances with the skin. Do not wash the affected area with alkaline soap or overly hot water. Do not apply cosmetics or any oils.

2. The room temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will aggravate the itching of eczema. Wear loose-fitting clothes, preferably made of pure cotton.

3. Breastfeeding can prevent eczema caused by allergy to foreign proteins caused by milk feeding.

4. During the period of infant eczema, do not vaccinate against smallpox (smallpox has disappeared and smallpox vaccination is no longer used), and do not come into contact with people with herpes simplex to avoid herpes.
