Every hot summer, many parents find that their babies are particularly prone to developing prickly heat, which can make them feel uncomfortable and often cause crying. Seeing this situation, mothers are also very worried. So, is it very itchy for babies to develop prickly heat?
Due to the well-developed sweat glands in the human body during summer, it is easy to sweat. As babies are still in the developmental stage, many parts of the body have not yet fully developed, and the arms and legs are covered in this sweat. If it is not dried in time after being discharged, it will hinder the discharge of sweat for a long time, resulting in prickly heat. After the baby has prickly heat, the skin will itch, which is why they cry.
In fact, it is quite normal for babies to have prickly heat. Parents don't need to worry too much. If they take care of the baby in a timely manner when the symptoms are mild, it can be relieved. When bathing the baby, honeysuckle can be added to the water to alleviate the itching caused by prickly heat to a certain extent. Alternatively, ginger can be cut into slices and applied to the area with prickly heat, which can quickly disappear.
English speaking babies are quite active, and when their activity levels increase, they will release a lot of sweat. At this time, parents must wipe off the baby's sweat in a timely manner. If the weather is particularly hot, the air conditioning can be turned on appropriately, but do not blow directly at the baby. After taking a shower every day, you can apply talcum powder to the baby to avoid heat rash.
