Question
My child has suddenly developed many red rashes on their face and body, without fever, but they continue to cry and fuss. Will the rash be itchy? How should I deal with it?
Answer
The child may feel itchy in this situation. It is recommended to keep the child as cool as possible and avoid overheating, which can cause more discomfort. You can give oral antiviral medication or antipruritic granules, and apply an antipruritic ointment externally. At the same time, make sure to give your child plenty of water to drink, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less spicy food. Usually, the condition will improve within 3 to 7 days.
