Question
The newborn baby from next door has just been born and is showing many boils on their body. The family is very worried about this. How should one properly handle a newborn empyema? I hope to receive some professional advice.
Answer
If the baby exhibits such symptoms, it is recommended to take the baby to a pediatrician for an examination as soon as possible. Since infants are still very young, it is not advisable to undergo blind treatments. In daily life, one should strengthen the cleaning and hygiene of the baby’s body parts and regularly change their clothes. When choosing clothes, opt for cotton to avoid rough materials that may irritate the boils and cause infection. At the same time, prevent the baby from scratching the affected area with their hands to avoid hand bacteria exacerbating the infection.
