Does rubbing the baby's forehead while washing it have any effect?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? I ask, what is the effect of scrubbing the forehead red when washing a baby's head?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described, generally, as long as there is no contact with the fontanelle, it is usually considered harmless. Babies are not that fragile, so you should be more careful in the future and avoid hitting the fontanelle.
Your condition may be gingivitis. It is recommended to rinse your mouth with metronidazole solution for treatment, which can be effective. Avoid spicy and irritating foods during this time. You can also receive antibiotic intravenous drip treatment.
