Heat rash generally refers to prickly heat, and full-term babies with prickly heat need to be treated with general treatment and medication.
1. General treatment: If a full-term baby has prickly heat, parents need to change the baby’s breathable, loose cotton clothes and keep the body clean. In addition, the child should be placed in a cool, breathable environment to prevent excessive sweating.
2. Medication: For full-term babies with prickly heat, it is recommended to use topical glycerite lotion under the guidance of a doctor, which can relieve itching, astringent and promote recovery. If local inflammation occurs, it is recommended to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for the child to apply erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment and other drugs to help fight infection.
If prickly heat does not improve after the above treatment or is accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, parents are advised to take their children to a regular hospital to consult a doctor, and under the doctor’s guidance, choose the appropriate treatment. The above medications should be used in accordance with medical advice.
