Question

A 38-day-old baby has red, hard rashes on their face and often vomits. Could this be due to heat? What has been the past treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of assistance are you expecting?

Answer

The red rash on the baby’s face may be infantile eczema. If the rash is not severe, it should be avoided from further development. If the rash increases, medication treatment is required, and attention should be paid to maintaining fresh and suitable indoor air and temperature. Overheating may lead to an increase in rashes. Lavender vine (Lonicera japonica) can be used to boil water for cleaning. Additionally, the baby should always be kept dry and as much as possible avoid getting wet.
