Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I'm very concerned, afraid that the condition will worsen. Do newborn baby girls need to be cleaned down there?Doctor's answer:
In the above situation, it is recommended not to clean the inside of a baby's genitalia too early to avoid tearing the baby's delicate skin. Young babies' genitalia have the ability to clean themselves automatically and there is no need to spread the labia of girls for cleaning. Early isolation should be carried out until all the rashes have crusted over. Children who have been exposed to chickenpox should be isolated and observed for 3 weeks. There is no specific treatment for this disease; it mainly involves symptomatic treatment to prevent secondary skin infections, maintaining cleanliness to avoid itching. Strengthen care to prevent secondary infections. Actively isolate patients to prevent transmission. For those with weakened immunity, intramuscular injection of gamma globulin at a dose of 3ml per day for 3 consecutive days can be administered.
