Children’s back sunburn can be treated by general treatment, topical medication (glycerine lotion and glucocorticoids, etc.), and oral medication (loratadine tablets, etc.).
1. General treatment: Parents should protect their children from the sun and avoid exposing their children’s backs to sunlight again.
2. Topical medication: As the back will be red and painful after sunburn, glycerine lotion and glucocorticoid creams such as hydrocortisone cream can be used to relieve the pain. If the sunburn is more serious, you can use 3% boric acid solution for wet compresses.
3. Oral medication: Oral loratadine tablets can be taken when there are systemic symptoms, and oral glucocorticosteroid therapy can be taken for severe cases.
Children’s skin is relatively delicate, parents should take their children to the doctor in a timely manner, do not arbitrarily give children medication to avoid accidents.
