What to do if a newborn has a rash due to fever

Why does the baby have a heat rash during confinement?

When the ambient temperature is too high, or when the baby has finished feeding, exerts effort, or cries, the baby's skin will appear pale. A red rash that disappears soon after the baby's skin cools. Heat rash often appears on babies' faces, necks, shoulders, elbow fossa, groin, armpits and other sweaty areas. Heat rash is actually a mild inflammation of the sweat glands. The skin will be red at first, and then red papules the size of pinheads will appear. Or papule herpes, densely packed into sheets, some of which are purulent.

How to prevent heat rash

1. Untie the child's clothes to see if the child is indeed too hot. Give your child a good bath with warm water. Do not wipe the child's body very dry. This can help the child's skin cool down smoothly with the help of the evaporation process of the water left on the skin.

2. Children must wear cotton underwear, which has better breathability and is easier to absorb sweat. The amount of clothes you wear for your children must be appropriate. Don’t think that the more clothes you wear, the better. Pay attention to the ventilation of the infant's room and the temperature should not be too high.
