Patient's question:
The baby has developed many bumps on their body recently. The night before last, it was on the back. Yesterday and today, it has started on the abdomen, chest, neck, and legs. It's also itchy, and there are also some on the 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. Internally, Chinese herbal medicine can clear heat, reduce dampness, and alleviate swelling and pain. Externally, apply a topical herbal ointment. If the child cannot take internal Chinese medicine, decoctions of honeysuckle and phellodendron, each 20 grams, can be taken internally. Note that the water temperature should not be too high when taking the decoction to avoid exacerbating the itching symptoms.
