Newborn baby herpes

The health of a newborn baby is very important. For most parents, newborns need protection, especially strengthening care to prevent viral infections. Because newborns have low body resistance, it is difficult to prevent some malignant viral attacks. For example, impetigo is a very harmful disease. Let’s take a look at what to do if a newborn baby suffers from impetigo? I hope everyone can understand it.

The pathogens of neonatal impetigo mostly come from the unclean hands of the mother, family members or medical staff, or the baby's use of clothes, diapers and blankets infected with bacteria. The incidence rate also increases in infants after contact with adults with skin rashes, purulent skin infections, or when the mother has mastitis.

Guidance:

Keep the newborn's skin clean and dry, dress appropriately, and do not let the newborn sweat too much. Protect the newborn's skin from damage by making sure the clothes, diapers and bedding are soft. When caring for a newborn, be gentle and cut the baby's nails frequently to avoid scratching the epidermis. Avoid contact with people with skin infections and wash your hands carefully before caring for a newborn. If you find that your baby is showing symptoms such as poor mental health, you should consult a doctor.

Clinical studies have shown that neonatal impetigo is highly contagious. It can not only spread itself but also to others. Therefore, if the disease is not cured for a long time, it will cause the area of ​​skin lesions in the newborn to expand and even infect other parts of the body. The child's condition will become more and more serious. Therefore, once the disease occurs, treatment must be started as soon as possible.

Because the skin of newborns is very delicate and the sebaceous glands secrete actively, bacteria like this environment very much. If the skin lesions do not heal for a long time, bacteria will grow in the damaged area, which may lead to other skin diseases. If the virus invades the body and damages the nerves, it may even cause irreversible harm to the child.

If impetigo in newborns is not treated in time, it will cause a series of physical discomfort symptoms, such as fever, varying degrees of skin pain or itching. If neonatal pustular herpes is not cured quickly, it will aggravate jaundice and even cause large-scale peeling of the skin lesions. If the condition is very serious, it may even leave scars on the baby's delicate skin, so if parents find that their children are sick, they must take them to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible.
