What should I do if my baby sweats and his neck hurts?

During the growth period after birth, the baby's neck is fleshy and short. During this period, the baby's neck will sweat easily, especially in summer. Sweating on the baby's neck will easily lead to drowning of the neck and ulceration of the baby's skin. You can bathe the baby more often and use drying powder to prevent the neck from being drowned again.

Bathing frequently: It is hot in summer and babies tend to sweat a lot, especially on their necks where there is a lot of flesh. The sweat accumulates and cannot evaporate. If the sweat stays in the neck for a long time, it will soak the delicate skin and cause redness, breakage and ulceration. Be sure to bathe your baby frequently. After bathing, wipe the affected area clean, dry it and keep it dry.

Olive oil: If you have leftover olive oil during pregnancy, it is very useful. After the baby's neck is soaked and wiped clean after a bath, apply some olive oil to the affected area. Olive oil itself has the function of nourishing the skin and can also isolate sweat and other moisture. If you don’t have olive oil, heating cooking oil and letting it cool will also work. If you have tea oil, sesame oil, or castor seed oil, that will also work.

Pine pollen: This is useful for preventing neck flooding. You can gently apply some to your baby after a bath. It has little effect on the affected neck area, and the stinging sensation will make the baby cry. The editor recommends taking a bath frequently, wiping saliva and sweat frequently, keeping the neck dry, and paying attention to the baby's respiratory tract when using pine pollen as it may be inhaled into the respiratory tract.

Gauze: When a neck infection occurs and the skin becomes severely red and ulcerated, in addition to cleaning the affected area and keeping it dry, you should also prevent the flesh of the infected neck from coming into contact with each other. After bathing and cleaning, let it dry naturally, then wrap the gauze loosely around the damaged area on the neck to separate the flesh in the baby's neck. Change the gauze frequently and new skin will grow on the affected area soon and the skin will heal quickly. Gauze can also be replaced with clean cotton cloth or bandage.

Drug treatment: There is also a quick method, which is erythromycin ointment, as well as Biqi and Smecta. Applying it to the baby's affected area can protect the skin and prevent bacterial growth. Sometimes doctors will prescribe drugs like Daknin Powder for bacterial infections in the affected area. The drug will heal the infection quickly. You can try other methods first and then use the drug last.

A baby's neck being submerged is not a trivial matter, and parents must pay special attention to it. The baby's skin is delicate and should be carefully cared for. If your baby's neck is submerged, you must choose the appropriate method to deal with it depending on the severity of the problem. In serious cases, it is best to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's orders for treatment. At the same time, the baby's skin should be kept dry and bathed frequently, and preventable diseases must be avoided in time.
