Impetigo, also known as yellow crust, is a common skin disease, especially among children. This is mainly because children have lower resistance, and if they do not pay attention to skin hygiene, they are more prone to this disease. Therefore, early prevention and care are important.
Treatment of Impetigo
1. Medication
Medications such as compound neomycin tablets, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets, and dexamethasone tablets can be used for treatment. First, grind these medications with ice tablets into powder. Apply the powder directly on the affected area with exudate, and change the dressing once daily.
2. Isolation treatment
Children with impetigo should be isolated for treatment. Clothes, sheets, towels, and other items should be disinfected. Contaminated items such as handkerchiefs and toys should also be disinfected.
3. Topical medication
For children with impetigo, local treatment with fish tar paste and ointment is generally sufficient. Apply iodine after disinfecting the affected area with hydrogen peroxide. Apply the medication twice a day, but avoid scratching to prevent secondary infection.
Methods for Maintaining Impetigo
1. Light diet
Drink plenty of water and eat light food in daily life. You can consume more soup and porridge, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. Drinking fruit juice in moderation can effectively detoxify the body.
2. Skin care
Keep the skin clean and hygienic, and pay attention to preventing infection from bacteria and viruses. Avoid external injuries and clean the skin in a timely manner. You can use some herbal water for cleansing.
3. Adequate rest
Do not be too anxious or anxious during the illness. Maintain a good mood and ensure sufficient sleep to have enough physical and mental energy, which helps improve the condition.
