Patient's question:
The baby is 16 months old and has had a red face for the past month. What could be the reason? Is it due to heat? Are there any good solutions? The baby is allergic to penicillin.Doctor's answer:
Two situations: If you touch the child's face and it feels warm, and they also have constipation, then it might be a stomach issue. In that case, drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits. Also, pay attention to rest and avoid spicy foods that could cause stomach upset. This is not a big problem. However, the other situation is if the child's face is not too warm, the skin feels dry, and small bumps appear. This could be due to being cold or exposed to wind, which may have triggered an allergy on the face. In this case, applying moisturizer should help, as well as drinking more milk, soy products, and fish.
