If you want your baby to be healthy and intelligent, pregnant women should always pay attention to their physical health. In fact, the health of pregnant women is also a concern for the whole family. When pregnant women are sick, they should not take medication easily. The effect of medication on the fetus is irreversible. What should pregnant women do if they get scabies?
Scabies is a skin disease caused by parasitic infections. It is recommended that pregnant women do not rush to take medication and can be treated through physical methods. To treat scabies, the first step is to eliminate parasites and insect eggs. Pregnant women can change all their clothes and start washing them, then hang them outdoors to dry and kill the insect eggs. At the same time, bedding at home also needs to be replaced in a timely manner to avoid cross infection.
For pregnant women with severe conditions, treatment cannot solely rely on physical therapy. If necessary, medical treatment with medication may be necessary. There are many medications for treating scabies that are topical, applied directly to the skin and absorbed by the skin to achieve therapeutic effects. These topical medicines have little impact on the health of the fetus, and as long as they are used under the guidance of a doctor, there will be no problem.
Scabies is contagious and can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women receive treatment for scabies together with their entire family. In addition to timely replacement of bedding, it is also necessary to disinfect the indoor air. After disinfection, open windows for ventilation before allowing pregnant women to enter.
