Red spots on baby's body after infusion

After the baby is discharged from the hospital, if red spots appear on the body, it is generally related to drug allergy, because drug allergy can cause skin damage. This situation can be mild or severe. If it is relatively mild, only certain symptoms will appear on the skin. If it is more serious, it may even induce anaphylactic shock or rapid hypersensitivity reaction, which is very harmful. Therefore, babies must be cautious in taking medicines. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Red spots on baby's body after infusion

Drug allergies often cause skin damage, with symptoms such as rash and itching on the skin. There may also be itching without an obvious rash, but some patients will experience more severe skin symptoms. Drug allergy can also easily cause systemic fever, which may occur before other skin symptoms or exist at the same time as other symptoms. In addition, drug allergy can easily cause rapid hypersensitivity reactions such as rhinitis, asthma, anaphylactic shock, or serious diseases such as hepatitis, allergic pneumonia, kidney disease, systemic lupus erythematosus-like reaction, hemolytic anemia and vasculitis, which seriously threaten the life and health of patients.

What to do if you are allergic to medicine

(1) Eliminating the cause of the disease and stopping all suspected causative drugs are the first steps that must be taken. Do not take any measures other than stopping the drug decisively when the signs of a drug reaction have already appeared.

(ii) Supportive therapy provides patients with favorable conditions and avoids unfavorable factors so that they can successfully complete the self-limiting course of the disease, such as bed rest, nutritious diet, maintaining a suitable temperature and humidity environment, and preventing secondary infection.

(3) Enhance excretion by using laxatives and diuretics as appropriate to promote the excretion of drugs in the body.

(IV) Drug treatment requires different measures depending on the severity of the disease.

1. Mild cases: ① Take 1-2 antihistamines orally; ② Intravenous injection of vitamin C 1g, once a day; ③ Intravenous injection of 10% calcium gluconate or 10% sodium thiosulfate 10ml, 1-2 days a day; ④ Apply calamine lotion, oscillating lotion or powder containing camphor or mint topically, several times a day, to relieve itching, dissipate heat, and reduce inflammation. Generally, the disease can be cured in about a week.

2. Slightly more serious cases refer to those with more extensive rashes and accompanied by fever.

① Rest in bed; ② Apply the above-mentioned medicine; ③ Take 20-30 mg of prednisone per day, divided into 3-4 times orally. Generally, full recovery can be achieved in about 2 weeks.

In order to prevent drug allergies, you should understand the drug's ingredients, contraindications, indications and side effects before taking the drug, and avoid abusing the drug.
