Mite bites in infants can lead to mite dermatitis, which can be treated by applying topical and oral medications.
Mite dermatitis is a type of insect bite dermatitis, which is caused by the bite of mites. The lesions are edematous, windswept papules, pimples, or petechiae, which are covered with small blisters, occasionally large blisters, and are often accompanied by scratches and crusts. The lesions are susceptible to secondary bacterial infections. In severe cases, headache, arthralgia, fever, malaise, nausea and other systemic symptoms may occur.
Treatment can be topical glycerine lotion, zinc sulfonamide oxide ointment to stop itching, and apply sodium fusidic acid ointment, hydrocortisone ointment, budesonide ointment and other anti-infective treatment. If necessary, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s prescription oral loratadine syrup, cetirizine drops and other antihistamine drugs anti-allergy treatment.
If infants are bitten by mites and become unwell, they need to go to the hospital in time, and the doctor will issue an individualized treatment plan according to the specific situation. All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid self-medication.
