Prickly heat in children is mostly caused by a large amount of sweat blocking the sweat ducts, which can be improved through general care and medication.
1. General care: keep the child in a ventilated environment, avoid strenuous exercise in hot weather, and avoid heavy sweating. Choose loose, breathable and comfortable clothes, change clothes frequently and keep the skin dry and clean.
2. Topical medication: Glycerin lotion and prickly heat powder can be used to cool, astringent and relieve itching. If it is pus prickly heat, you can also use 2% ichthyol glycerite lotion and so on.
3. Systemic medication: For severe itching, in order to relieve the symptoms and reduce scratching, oral antihistamines such as loratadine and cetirizine can be taken. If it is pus prickly heat, you can also consider the systematic use of antibiotics for treatment.
If your child has prickly heat, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, and the doctor will formulate an individualized diagnosis and treatment plan according to the specific condition, and the specific medication should be prescribed by the doctor.
