How is child scarlet fever treated?
summary
My sister's child is four years old this year. The child who was in good health suddenly had a high fever these days. He had some rashes on his body and some on his face. Sometimes he would vomit and his throat was red. It was estimated that his throat was swollen and painful, and the child always seemed restless. Take the child to the hospital. The doctor says it's scarlet fever. We must take care of the children carefully. Let's take a look at the following.
How is child scarlet fever treated?
First: in the first few days, we took care of our children very carefully and cooperated with western medicine actively, but the effect was not very obvious. We worried that our children would be life-threatening if they went on like this, so we took them to see traditional Chinese medicine. After reading the traditional Chinese medicine, I showed some oral western medicine, as well as some traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxin, Purging Heat and nourishing yin. In addition, some self-made ointment is used to wipe the long rash.
Second: high fever can be treated with a small dose of antipyretic agent or physical cooling. For example, we put ice towels on the children. Like my sister's children, some older children with sore throat can gargle with normal saline. And some children younger can use cotton swab dipped in normal saline to wipe the child's mouth.
Third: Children's clothes should be frequently changed and washed, and they should be sterilized. They can be exposed to the sun. When bathing your child, gently wipe the child's body with mild bath lotion. Excessive force will scratch the child's rash.
matters needing attention
