Question
Suddenly, my child’s face and body are covered with many red rashes, and there is no fever. The child keeps crying and fussing. Will the baby’s rash be itchy?
Answer
In this situation, the child may experience itching. It is recommended not to overheat the child, as too much heat can easily cause itching and discomfort. The child may cry and fuss intensely. You can give the child oral antiviral medications or antipruritic granules. You can also apply some antipruritic ointment externally, encourage the child to drink more plain water, consume more vegetables and fruits, and eat less snacks and spicy foods. Generally, recovery will occur within 3 to 7 days.
