What should I do if my baby’s skin is dry, red and rough?

Question 1: My baby is breastfeeding and has a lot of red rashes on his face. It started a little, and then grew more and more. It has been more than half a month. What should I do? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: Your baby’s condition is eczema. Eczema is characterized by itching and recurrence. The principle of treatment is long-term and standardized treatment, and do not stop taking the medicine immediately when it seems to be cured. The first thing is to keep the area clean. Do not wash the eczema area with hot water or alkaline soapy water. The focus of treating eczema is \”moisturizing\”. It is recommended to wash with warm water and apply a large amount of moisturizing cream several times every day. Secondly, when breastfeeding, mothers must not eat foods that are prone to allergies, such as fish, shrimp, crab, onions, ginger, garlic and other irritating and greasy foods. In addition, you can apply paeonol ointment and eudra ointment, and report back after five days. If the condition improves, stop using Uzro Ointment and continue using Paeonol Ointment. Question 2: My son is one year and two months old. He had diarrhea twice today and his symptoms were not serious. The test shows that I am infected with rotavirus, what should I do? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: You can take quadruple live bacteria tablets. If the child has severe diarrhea, you can add montmorillonite. It usually heals on its own in 7-10 days. If you are infected with rotavirus, you should focus on preventing dehydration. The virus will cause dehydration due to malabsorption of water and electrolytes in the baby\’s body. If your baby has symptoms of dehydration, such as listlessness, dry skin, sunken eye sockets, dry lips, decreased urine output, etc., seek treatment in time. Question 3: I ate chili peppers when I was pregnant. When the baby was born, the doctor said there was fetal poisoning and there were many small red bumps all over the body. What should I do? Doctor Wang Yanli answered: This is related to the mother eating chili peppers. You can use berberine hydrochloride tablets. Dissolve one tablet into 100 ml of water. Wash the child with cotton cloth and apply it three times a day. At the same time, apply Baiduobang ointment. Avoid catching cold. Generally, it will get better after washing for three or four days. Also, the mother should have a light diet and not cover her child too much. Covered diapers should be scalded with boiling water and dried in the sun for disinfection and sterilization.
