Why does infantile rash occur?

Many babies suffer from roseola when they are born. The main symptom of roseola is a rash all over the body accompanied by fever, which usually lasts about three days. Moreover, roseola is contagious to a certain extent. Parents must pay attention to infection when taking care of their babies. Its main transmission medium is saliva. Regarding roseola infantum, parents must have questions, why does roseola infantum occur?

1. Roseola infantum is a viral infection disease, mainly caused by human herpes viruses 6 and 7. Of course, some are parainfluenza viruses and adenovirus infections, which are highly toxic.

3. It is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract and hand contact. The activity space of young children is greatly increased, which increases the chance of infection.

4. Most viruses are resistant to high temperatures, are relatively stubborn, and are more likely to occur in summer.

5. Infants and young children are susceptible groups and have no immune protection against the virus.

1. Continuous high fever due to viremia.

2. The overall mental state is good unless the fever reaches 40℃.

3. Febrile convulsions are likely to occur during the first 24 hours of fever.

4. Although it is a self-limiting disease with a fever lasting 3-5 days (3.8 days on average), it does test the patience and determination of parents.

5. After the fever subsides, a rash appears (roseola, no itching, usually disappears in 3-5 days). The rash does not require special treatment.

In short, if the child's blood test results are basically normal or decreasing, but the body temperature continues to rise, and the child is around 1 year old, roseola infantum is highly suspected. There is currently no way to confirm the diagnosis, and it is more based on clinical diagnosis or fever rash. Generally, there are no obvious complications, so there is no need to be too nervous. The key is to pay attention to the child's mental state.

1. Keep the room quiet and the air fresh, let the baby rest more, do not cover the baby with too thick or too many quilts, and try not to take the baby out to reduce cross infection.

2. Let your baby drink more boiled water or juice to facilitate sweating and urination.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the skin and wipe off the sweat on the baby's body in time to prevent the baby from catching a cold and the baby's rash from being infected again.

4. If the baby is still breastfeeding, do not interrupt breastfeeding at this time. You can add some water to the baby during breastfeeding. If your baby is already able to eat complementary foods, you can choose to eat some liquid or semi-liquid food.

5. When the baby's body temperature exceeds 39°C, it is best to adopt physical cooling methods. You can also use antipyretics to prevent the baby from having convulsions caused by high fever.

Roseola infantum is likely the baby's first fever and illness, and persistent high fever is a severe test for new mothers. Faced with such a situation, mothers must remain calm, firm in their beliefs, and provide scientific care. Once the baby has survived the roseola, the body's resistance will have another qualitative leap. At the same time, we also hope that every baby can grow up healthy and happy.
