Sweating is more in extreme heat. It ruptures the sweat glands and ducts of the skin, causing sweat to accumulate under the skin. This results in blisters, which are reddish, itchy. It's scary. Infections often occur when the sweat glands close their mouths due to accumulation of sweat and dust. This leads to trouble. Bacterial and fungal diseases also occur during this time due to sweat and dust.


 

What to do if itching

Ø The more a child sweats and dries his body, the more likely he is to catch a cold. So if the shirt gets wet with sweat, it should be taken off immediately. Wipe the body with a thin cotton cloth.

 

Ø In hot weather, the baby should be bathed every day. However, if you are tired from school or outside, you cannot take a bath immediately. After wiping off a little sweat, take a bath with water of normal temperature.

 

Ø Clean the baby daily with soap while bathing.

 

Ø In hot weather, children's hair sweats a lot. Hair roots should be removed as soon as possible without waiting for air to dry.

 

Ø It is better not to scratch or touch the scratched nails. Soaking a soft cloth in cold water and wiping the affected area will reduce the itching a lot.

 

Ø Antiperspirant powder or talcum powder can be used. However, the body should be wiped well before giving the powder. Should not be coated with thick powder. This closes the pores of the skin. This causes more itching.

 

Ø It is best not to put diapers on a very young baby at this time. Wet diapers can cause discomfort for the baby. It can also cause skin rashes.

 

It is important to remember a few things

 

Ø The baby can be shaved in hot weather. This reduces the risk of skin diseases including itching and dandruff.

 

Ø The baby needs to drink more water. Sweat removes enough sodium and as little potassium and bicarbonate as possible. So you can eat fruits, fruit juices, soft drinks, saline.

 

Ø Make the child interested in eating seasonal fruits like watermelon, bell, papaya, raw mango, watermelon etc. If you do not want to eat directly, you can eat it with sherbet or juice.

 

Ø Keep baby away from fried, overly oily and spicy foods and purchased foods.

 

Ø At this time the child should be kept away from playing in the hot sun as much as possible.
