Heat rash, also known as prickly heat and sweat rash, is a common skin condition caused by obstruction within the ducts of the small sweat glands. Babies with heat rash should be treated with general therapy and medication under the guidance of a doctor.
1. General treatment: After the baby has a heat rash, you should keep the area of the skin lesions cool and dry, and wear loose, breathable cotton clothing as much as possible. In addition, you can use wet cloths or ice packs to apply ice to the lesion area, which can help stop the itching or relieve the pain.
2. Medication: Children with severe symptoms can use topical glycerin lotion and other astringent, anti-itching drugs. Patients with red rash can use topical hydrocortisone ointment and other glucocorticoid drugs, which can play a role in promoting the decline of inflammation. The itchy children can be appropriate use of antihistamine drugs such as loratadine syrup.
When the baby has a heat rash, it should be taken to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for regular treatment. All of the above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be used on their own, so as not to delay the condition.
