What is the best way to treat prickly heat?

It is easy to get prickly heat when the weather is hot. The skin will become itchy and miserable, especially for babies. The baby's skin is so tender and smooth. If prickly heat occurs, it must be dealt with in time. It is best to choose pure cotton material for the clothes you wear close to the skin. It is more breathable and does not irritate the skin. Keep the skin dry, take a bath on time and keep the skin clean. Let's see what are the best ways to treat prickly heat.

1. Use appropriate amount of pepper, boil it in water, take the juice and apply it to the affected area

This is convenient and practical. What you need to pay attention to is that you should wait until the child falls asleep before scratching the forehead or back of the head to prevent the child from scratching and then rubbing his eyes.

2. Bathing method

Wild chrysanthemum, fresh cattail, dandelion, fresh bamboo leaves, fresh jujube leaves, purslane, honeysuckle, Houttuynia cordata, etc. all have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. You can choose one or more of them, add water to boil them into a soup, and use it to bathe the child several times a day. Generally, the child will be cured in two or three days. If you don't have time to do it, just buy some prickly heat water or itching lotion and pour it into warm water to wash.

3. Foods that cool down the body and help eliminate itching

30 grams of mung beans, 60 grams of winter melon, and 15 grams of kelp, boil them in water, then add appropriate amount of white sugar, eat once a day for a week.

4. Take 10 grams each of fresh lotus leaves, fresh bamboo leaves, honeysuckle and forsythia, decoct in water and drink the juice.

These are all heat-removing and detoxifying, which are helpful in relieving heat, cooling down and eliminating itching.

5. Physical cooling to relieve heat and itching

Keep your child in a cool place more often or use air conditioning if there is one to help eliminate the temporary itching caused by the itchiness. Or taking your child to take a cold bath can help remove the itching. Note: Do not take a cold shower immediately after sweating too much

6. Mung Bean Water

In the hot summer, boil some mung bean water and drink it every day like water. This will cool you down and relieve the heat, and also help people with prickly heat to recover.

7. Watermelon Juice

People who have less prickly heat can squeeze the watermelon rind into juice and apply it to the areas where prickly heat occurs, or they can directly rub the areas where prickly heat occurs with the watermelon rind.

8. Dehumidification drugs

If these methods don’t work, you should take some dehumidifying medicine. Our pharmacist said that prickly heat might be caused by gastrointestinal disease, so we have to treat the root cause first.
