Infectious and non-infectious diseases in newborns

Any mother knows that the immunity of a newborn baby in the first days and months is very weak, and any breeze, cold or heat can have a negative impact on the baby's skin, and on his health. Today we will tell you about infectious and non-infectious diseases of newborn children. And we will teach you how to treat these diseases.

Let's start with the simplest less malicious and more common diseases of babies.

FURNITURE .Any mother will notice the flogging of her newborn baby immediately. The baby's skin becomes inflamed. This is mainly due to the ingress of urine or feces on the surface of the skin. But in many cases, the skin can become inflamed due to rough diapers; therefore, one should not save on good diapers for the baby, sometimes after numerous washing the diapers begin to rustle - do not regret them, it is better to eliminate them immediately, because right now any action affects the healthThe kid. Faults in most cases appear in the buttocks, neck, underarms, in the groin area, behind the ears and on the genitals.

There are three degrees of diaper rash:

1. is an easy degree when redness of the skin is not so much and there are no abnormalities;
2. is a moderate degree when erosion and skin reddens;
3. severe degree, when on the red skin of the baby appear jaundice, the skin is strongly irritated. In the case of severe diaper rash, it is very easy to carry any infection.

Treat diaper rash is not difficult, especially if it's the first or second degree. The main thing is to do everything very gently and carefully. Now let's explain why. The skin of a baby is very sensitive at this age and any wrong action can have negative consequences. So, in order to cure the newborn from diaper rash, it is necessary to wash the baby with running warm water( you can use baby soap).After such a procedure, we soak the baby's skin with a soft towel and apply baby cream or olive oil( can be sea-buckthorn oil) to diaper rash. If the baby has a dermal tissue disorder( severe degree of diaper rash), the procedure is similar, only with the use of tannin ointment or talcum powder( with zinc).Strong ulcers are treated with moist lotions. To do this, you need 1-2% solution of tannin, 0.1% rivanol solution, strong tea.

THE FUTURE .Many "very caring" moms think that their baby is always cold, and even in hot weather, and try to wrap, wrap or dress it as warmly as possible. This should not be done in any case, as the child can be overheated. And in case of overheating there is a sweating. Basically, it manifests itself in the abdomen, neck, in wrinkles in the form of small specks or red nodules.

To treat a chicken should be done this way: we make a bath with a solution of potassium permanganate in the proportion of 1:10 000 for a baby. After such a bath, powder the skin with powder or talcum powder( with zinc).

FAMILY ISTICOSIS .Salty ichthyosis - we can say, the stagnation of the sebaceous gland and sweat, manifests itself in the form of strong peeling of the surface of the skin and is covered with a crust. In principle, the disease is not terrible and is treated very quickly and easily. For treatment, you need to make warm baths, then lubricate the baby's skin with baby cream. To get rid of the disease, several procedures are sufficient, after which the skin again becomes healthy.

GENERAL DERMATIT .It occurs mainly in those babies who are on artificial feeding. Seborrheic dermatitis is manifested in the form of redness, then desquamation, after - infiltration and severe peeling, sometimes there are sores. Appears dermatitis on the face, behind the ears, in the armpits, in the groin, in the folds, in the neck.

To treat a baby with such a problem should be naturally nourished. If your mother does not have milk, you need to look for a donor, but this is the most safe and effective way. And for the elimination of peeling and ulcers, you can apply Bementain ointment( 5%) or a steroid cream.

THE DISTINCTIVE ERYTHODROME OF LINEER appears only in babies in the first months, but the causes of the appearance of such a disease have not been identified. It is manifested in the form of peeling and irritation of the skin( sometimes there may appear sores) in the groin and buttocks, then it can spread to the rest of the skin. On the baby's head desquamative erythroderma Liner manifests itself in the form of fatty scales. In this case, often there is an intestinal disorder( stool liquid, strong regurgitation or vomiting).

Treat the baby with Desquamative Liner erythroderma with the help of vitamins and lactobacilli, as well as by analogy with the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis( ie, natural feeding, beepentene ointment and so on).In severe cases it is more expedient to resort to the help of doctors.

Infectious diseases in newborns

VEZIKULOPUSTULOSIS ( in other words, staphyloderma).This disease appears in the buttocks, on the hips, on the head, in the folds. Vesiculopustulis appears as small bubbles with a clear or turbid liquid.

Vesiculopustulosis is treated with baths, where potassium permanganate is dissolved in a percentage ratio of 1:10 000.Bubbles with pus are removed with alcohol( strictly 70%), then the skin must undergo UV irradiation( naturally, in the hospital).

BLADDER ( in other words, pemphigus) is a staphylococcal pyoderma, only in severe form. It appears in multiple blisters with sulfur-purulent fluid.

Treat pemphigus of newborns with punctures of blisters, then take a one-percent alcohol solution of aniline paints and treat this skin with the baby's skin. If the disease has reached a severe degree, antibiotics are prescribed.

EXCIOLITIVE DERMATITE OF RITTER. This disease is caused, as a rule, by staphylococcus. It is manifested in the form of blisters, erosions on the hips, wrinkles and in the navel. This is a very serious condition of the newborn child, the symptoms of which are dehydration and intoxication.
