Question
A two-and-a-half-year-old child broke out in a rash overnight, with the rash covering the legs, thighs, and scalp. The rash was temporarily relieved with peach water, but it was uncomfortable. By noon today, more rashes appeared behind the ears and on the scalp, accompanied by abdominal pain and diarrhea. How should one handle this situation?
Answer
Based on the description, the rash and abdominal pain on the child may be due to an allergic reaction, with diarrhea possibly resulting from allergic enteritis causing abdominal pain and vomiting. It is recommended to visit a pediatrician or dermatologist for a follow-up examination and treatment under medical guidance. It is suggested to frequently wash bedding, regularly disinfect pillowcases and pillow cores, dress the child in cotton clothing, carefully observe and find the cause of the child’s allergy, and if necessary, seek a follow-up examination at a regular hospital and receive systematic treatment.
