Patient's question:
The baby has developed many bumps on their body recently. The night before yesterday, it was on their back. Yesterday and today, it has started on their abdomen, chest, neck, and legs. It's also itchy, and there are also some on their face.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child's condition should be eczema, related to an allergic constitution. In terms of treatment, a combination of internal and external Chinese medicine methods can be used. The internal medicine helps clear heat, reduce dampness, and alleviate swelling and pain, while the external medicine is applied as a topical ointment. If the child cannot take internal medicine, decoctions of honeysuckle and phellodendron (each 20 grams) can be used for internal consumption. Note that the water temperature should not be too high when taking the decoction to avoid exacerbating the itching symptoms.
