What to do if your baby has a viral rash

In life, many people do not have a real understanding of some relevant knowledge about rashes, and always think that rashes are not serious. But in fact, many rashes occur in children and often cause symptoms of itching and pain, especially viral rashes. When they appear on babies, they can be contagious and may even cause many complications, so everyone needs to pay attention.

Routine care

(1) Keep the room well ventilated. Patients are generally required to rest in bed, so the room should be warm, quiet, clean, and the air should be fresh. Pay attention to the temperature and humidity. Open the windows for ventilation 2 to 3 times a day, but do not let cold air blow directly on the patient.

(2) Patients should not wear too many clothes and should not cover themselves with too thick quilts to prevent high fever convulsions caused by heat not being able to dissipate. At the same time, keep your eyes, nose, mouth and ears clean and avoid strong light stimulation.

(3) Patients should be given easily digestible, nutritious food, encouraged to drink plenty of water, eat more fresh fruits, and supplement with adequate vitamins.

Symptomatic treatment

Patients with a body temperature not exceeding 40℃ are generally not given antipyretics. If the body temperature is higher than 40℃ and accompanied by convulsions, the temperature can be lowered appropriately, and physical cooling methods should be used as much as possible.

Preventing infection

(1) The most important thing to prevent viral infection is to strengthen your own health care, maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid direct contact with carriers, and avoid using the same washbasin, towel, and other items as carriers.

(2) Avoid going to public places as much as possible during the epidemic.

(3) The patient’s diet is also very important. The patient should drink plenty of water and eat light, easily digestible, high-protein, and high-vitamin foods.

(4) As the weather gets warmer, you should pay more attention to physical exercise to fundamentally block the invasion of the virus.
