Question
The 4-month-old baby has been running a fever for 10 days and has received injections for treatment. The common cold and cough have improved, but the mother wants to know what kind of disease the child may have and what dietary precautions she should take during breastfeeding.
Answer
Pediatrix rash is often caused by viral infection and usually appears after a high fever, with no other symptoms besides a rash all over the body. At this time, it is important to ensure the baby has adequate hydration and maintains a light diet, avoiding spicy or irritating foods. If the baby has itching symptoms, an oral liquid of chlorpheniramine can be administered appropriately, and it usually heals itself within 3 days. For mothers who are breastfeeding, it is important to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy, irritating, or heat-inducing foods.
