Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. May the vulva of a one-year-old girl be wiped with alcohol?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best not to use iodine to clean the perineum of a one-year-old girl. Children's skin is quite delicate and prone to irritation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause and avoid self-medication.When using it, pay attention to the direction: make sure the side with the milk holes faces upwards towards the palate, while the flat side faces the tongue. This aligns well with the shape of the baby's mouth. Additionally, if the milk holes face the palate instead of directly towards the throat, it reduces the risk of the baby choking when milk flows out.
