Question
After receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine, the baby’s eczema symptoms have worsened. How should it be handled?
Answer
Eczema is primarily caused by allergies and is also related to the baby’s constitution. It can be categorized into acute and chronic types. Treatment methods include using sodium acetate wash or oscillating wash, and short-term use of hydrocortisone cream or comfortable soft ointment for external application. Oral medications can include diphenhydramine, phenylephrine, and cimetidine. Traditional Chinese medicine is also effective for treating eczema and can be chosen for external washing with purple grass decoction.
