It is recommended to keep ventilation, pay attention to skin hygiene, if necessary, external glycerine lotion, prickly heat powder, oral loratadine, levocetirizine hydrochloride and other drugs, can relieve the symptoms.
If there is no co-infection of prickly heat, patients can swim. If the condition worsens or secondary bacterial infection occurs, such as skin erosion, oozing, pus and other manifestations, patients are advised not to swim for the time being.
