Infantile miliaria is caused by high temperature, difficulty in sweat evaporation and poor excretion of sweat glands. What about the children with prickly heat? Here's what I did for you. I hope it works for you.
Why do children get prickly heat?
1, autumn is cool only in the morning and evening, and the temperature is still very high during the day, commonly known as "autumn tiger". In this weather, babies are most likely to get prickly heat and are most likely to be ignored.
2. The temperature changes obviously in autumn. Parents don't dress and undress their children in time, which makes them wear thick clothes in hot weather, causing their babies to sweat. If clothes soaked with sweat are not changed in time, children may catch a cold.
3. Bathing the baby is not diligent enough. Most parents will not wash their children until autumn according to the frequency of bathing in summer, but at least once every other day. Because the baby has strong vitality, sometimes rolling on the floor and in the soil will lead to too much dirt and damage the panel.
In addition, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, it is caused by the baby's lung heat. In summer, the baby's absence of prickly heat is not when the lung function is the most vigorous, but when the heart function is the most vigorous, indicating that the baby does not use the detoxification method of lung epidermis, but uses other visceral detoxification methods. In autumn, some babies will have prickly heat. At this time, fur problems are generally related to the lungs. Explain that the baby uses the lung epidermis detoxification method to excrete toxins from the body. Because the baby's lung function is more vigorous in autumn, the lung belongs to gold, the main fur, the climate belongs to autumn, the geographical location belongs to the west, the west is mountainous and cold, and the lungs are most afraid of heat and dryness.
What should the child do with prickly heat?
Regional therapy
Topical cooling powder such as prickly heat powder, or refreshing antipruritic lotion such as 1% mint calamine lotion and 1% mint tincture; Pustules can be externally applied with 2% fish stone calamine lotion and coptis powder.
It should be noted that prickly heat powder cannot be used after the panel is ulcerated; Don't confuse adults with children, because adult prickly heat powder generally contains boric acid, but boric acid is forbidden in children's prickly heat powder. In addition, the medicine and dosage of adult prickly heat powder and children's prickly heat powder are different, so children should buy prickly heat powder for their children. In addition, many parents report that children always lick prickly heat powder on their hands, and their mothers will worry about affecting their children's health. Generally speaking, more than 99% of prickly heat powder is talcum powder, which is mild in nature, safe and non-toxic, and a small amount of intake will not have much impact. Parents can also try to put some on their hands when their children are asleep. In addition, you can also put some dry edible powder such as corn starch on your hands instead of prickly heat powder, which will keep the area dry and will not affect your health if you accidentally eat it.

Systematic therapy
Take antihistamines orally when itching is obvious. Antibiotics should be used when suppurative infection occurs.
How to prevent children from getting prickly heat;
1. In summer, the room temperature should be lowered during the day to keep it ventilated and cool. Humidity is not conducive to the disappearance of heat rash, nor is it suitable for children to perform drama activities in the hot sun.
2. Infants and young children should wear wide cotton underwear in summer, which is beneficial to sweat absorption. Try not to let the children cry loudly at ordinary times, so that they are covered in sweat. Babies who often sleep should always turn over and put a cushion on the bed.
3, summer training should take a bath frequently. The water temperature should not be too hot or too cold when taking a bath. Some parents think that bathing with strong water can relieve itching and make children feel comfortable. It was true that the child felt very comfortable at that time, but the higher the water temperature, the stronger the effect on the panel. After taking a shower, the panel was uncomfortable and cried. You should use a baby bath, which is less harmful to the panel. Wipe the washboard immediately after taking a shower and grasp the powder of prickly heat, which is beneficial to the dissipation of prickly heat. According to the temperature and sweating, decide the number of baths every day, and put on clean underwear after washing.
4. Usually cut your nails frequently to prevent scratches and avoid secondary infection of the panel. You can cut your hair short in summer. Let children eat some cool feed every day, such as honeysuckle dew, mung bean soup, etc., to alleviate the summer heat. ?
