How to treat eczema in children

Pediatric eczema can be treated with topical medications, oral medications, and home care.

Treatments for eczema in children:

1. Topical medication: The cause of pediatric eczema is still unclear. It may be caused by immune abnormalities, humidity changes, contact with allergens, etc. The main clinical manifestations are millet-sized papules, papulovesicles, itching and other symptoms. After the disease occurs, you should follow the doctor's advice to apply calamine lotion, hydrocortisone butyrate cream and other medications to effectively reduce inflammation and improve itching symptoms.

2. Oral medication: If the pediatric eczema cannot be improved by the above methods and the itching symptoms are severe, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to take antihistamines, such as levocetirizine hydrochloride oral solution, desloratadine dry suspension, etc., to achieve the effect of calming and relieving itching.

3. Home care: Children should be kept clean and cared for on a regular basis, and avoid using irritating skin care products to avoid worsening the condition. Children should also be given soft and loose cotton clothing to reduce irritation to the skin.

Things to note for children with eczema:

During the treatment period, children should avoid scratching the affected skin to avoid skin ulceration or erosion, causing inflammation and infection. They should also avoid eating spicy and irritating foods to avoid aggravating the itching symptoms.
