When a baby experiences digestive discomfort in a new environment and develops red bumps on the body, the following measures can be taken:
First, consider giving antiallergy medications, such as loratadine or cetirizine, which are more suitable for older infants. However, it is important to use them under medical advice.
Next, review the child’s diet. If there is suspicion that a certain food is causing the allergy, stop intake immediately and observe the child’s recovery. Especially for high-protein foods like shrimp, crab, which are prone to triggering allergic reactions, avoid feeding.
At the same time, adjust the child’s diet to be light, ensure adequate fluid intake, consume more vegetables and fruits to help alleviate discomfort. Introduce a new food gradually at each meal to allow the baby to adapt gradually and avoid consuming raw, cold, greasy foods.
Additionally, personal hygiene is crucial. Change diapers promptly to prevent diaper rash; ensure clean and dry bedding, thoroughly aired, can reduce the risk of skin diseases like eczema, especially for infants under one year old.
It is worth noting that sudden changes in the environment may disrupt the balance of the body’s microorganisms, leading to weakened immunity and susceptibility to colds. Therefore, if a child falls ill in a different place, seek medical attention promptly instead of relying solely on past experiences.
Finally, upon returning home, minimize contact with unfamiliar faces and frequent hugging to prevent emotional fluctuations in the child, affecting sleep and resistance. Providing a stable and reassuring environment is crucial for the child to adapt to the new life.
