Patient's question:
Doctor, patient, my child is seven years old. Recently, I don't know what happened, he kept feeling nauseous and vomiting. Later, I bought many nausea and vomiting patches for my child at a pharmacy. However, I don't know how to apply them, so I would like to consult on how to apply the pediatric diarrhea patches?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is mainly applied to the navel, where the adhesive side of the medication is peeled off and pressed close to the baby's navel. It is usually left on for about 24 hours. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm. It is also important to maintain dryness and hygiene at all times. Some babies may be sensitive to the patch, which can easily cause allergies. Therefore, it is best to remove it after 24 hours to keep the baby dry, clean, and hygienic, using povidone-iodine to disinfect. If there is redness or swelling, it is best not to apply it again. You can apply some cod liver oil and zinc oxide ointment.
