Patient's question:
On the afternoon of May 23rd, my daughter developed large patches of red spots below her knees (now red plaques), which were not painful or itchy. By the 27th, the spots had spread to her thighs, and her forearms also started showing red spots. She was treated at the Department of Dermatology at Yili Friendship Hospital in Xinjiang.Doctor's answer:
Considering it might be caused by an allergy, it is recommended to give the baby antihistamine medication, such as loratadine syrup. It is advised to maintain a light diet for the baby and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid using hot water to bathe the baby to prevent worsening the symptoms. Encourage the baby to exercise more to enhance their immunity.There are many causes of pediatric blood diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a blood disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let the child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
