What to do if you have measles during the confinement period

During the confinement period, mothers should be very careful and pay attention to their physical condition, because their immunity is very low during this period. If they are accidentally attacked by a virus, it is easy to cause illness. For ordinary people, urticaria will cause great physical and mental suffering. If a mother suffers from urticaria during the confinement period, it will directly affect the health of her milk supply and mental health. However, for the sake of the baby's health, what should a mother do if she suffers from urticaria during the confinement period and cannot use drugs at will?

What to do with urticaria during confinement?

The treatment of urticaria takes some time and cannot be cured in a short time. This may be an allergic reaction caused by skin contact with certain substances. During the confinement period, patients need to pay more attention to hygiene, change clothes frequently to sterilize them, and pay attention to body hygiene. Adult and baby clothes should be washed separately to prevent infection to the baby.

If you suffer from urticaria, you may also have symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc., so patients need to take good care of their bodies and go to the hospital in time if any abnormalities are found. It is not recommended to breastfeed the baby at this time. Go to the hospital to find out what is going on and listen to the doctor's advice before deciding what to do.

Patients with urticaria should eat some fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, and avoid foods that irritate the skin. Things like eggs, milk, spicy food, seafood, etc. are not allowed. During the confinement period, you should make reasonable diet plans until your body recovers. Also pay attention to indoor air circulation to maintain humidity and fresh air.

Do not take a hot bath during an acute urticaria attack

Generally, when urticaria occurs, the itching is unbearable. Many people, especially children, will scratch the itching with their hands unconsciously. However, you may not know that this action not only fails to relieve the itching, but may make the itching worse. This is mainly because when you scratch the affected skin, it increases the temperature of the affected skin and makes it worse.

Doctors emphasize that patients should not take hot baths during the acute attack of urticaria (except for cold allergy), as this will cause vasodilation and aggravate the condition. It is also best not to drink hot water, but to apply wet compresses with cold towels.

Experts suggest that parents with children with allergies should be more vigilant about their children suffering from acute urticaria. This type of urticaria is very severe, and cases of laryngeal edema and suffocation to death occur frequently. Therefore, once parents find that their children have allergies, they should quickly go to a regular hospital for allergen testing, find out the cause, and carry out symptomatic desensitization treatment.
