What to do if your child has a red butt

Red buttocks is a common condition among babies. This is because parents do not change diapers in time after their children have defecation, allowing the bacteria inside to irritate the baby's skin, resulting in red buttocks. Red buttocks make children feel painful and dry, which makes parents very upset. So what should parents do if their children have a red buttocks?

1. If the baby's buttocks are red and swollen, try to use less or no diapers with poor breathability. You can use cotton or mesh cloth instead of diapers. If the baby has a bowel movement, change the diaper in time.

2. After the baby has a bowel movement, wipe the baby's butt clean in time. It is best to wash the baby's butt with warm salt water. If the baby cries out in pain, you must persist. After all, salt has a good bactericidal effect and can effectively relieve the redness and swelling of the baby's butt. Be careful not to add too much salt and the water must be warm.

3. If your baby's butt is troubled by redness, swelling and pain, you can soak a towel in hot water, wring it dry and shake it, and apply it to the baby's butt when it is no longer hot. This can relieve the redness and swelling, and the baby will feel less pain.

4. After cleaning the baby's buttocks, apply erythromycin eye ointment to the baby. You can squeeze the eye ointment onto a cotton swab, and then gently apply it to the red and swollen area of ​​the baby's buttocks. It is better to apply it before going to bed every day.

5. In addition, please note that if you take your baby out to play, do not let the baby wearing open-crotch pants sit anywhere else, such as on park seats, steps, etc., as bacteria may easily get on the baby's buttocks.

6. When the baby's buttocks are red and swollen, let the baby's buttocks cool down as much as possible, and it is best to expose it to the sun. Sunlight has a good bactericidal effect and is very helpful in relieving the redness and swelling of the baby's buttocks.
