Question
How can you tell the difference between a drug eruption and pediatric exanthema after a 10-month-old baby has a high fever for three days? Previous treatment and effectiveness: taking anti-inflammatory medicine and fever-reducing injections.
Answer
Infant eczema is a common skin disease in infants and young children under 2 years old, typically characterized by red rashes and itching. Treatment includes maintaining clean and dry skin, wearing soft cotton clothing, avoiding excessive bathing and the use of irritating soaps. In severe cases, oral antihistamines such as cetirizine can be taken, and symptoms can be relieved with the application of emollient ointments like Eucerin cream. As children grow older, most cases of eczema will naturally improve, so parents should not worry too much.
