Probably there is no such a child, on the body of which never appeared a swab. We will not consider any serious diseases, the symptoms of which can be different rashes, but just talk about the sweat that appears on the neck of the child.
The causes of perspiration on the neck of a baby
- All nine months that the child was in the mother's belly, there was only an aquatic environment around him. After the birth, the skin has to get used to the new environment and it's quite normal that it will behave differently. This is the first reason for the appearance of sweating on the neck of the newborn.
- Another common reason for the occurrence of sweat on the neck in a child is improper hygiene. Young parents do not always correctly handle their baby: they skip bathing, rarely change clothes, or choose it from inappropriate fabrics, use too much baby cream or just strongly wrap them up.
How to prevent a swab?
It's not a secret for anyone that it's easier to avoid than to heal, so remember a few rules:
- prefer clothes made from natural materials (cotton and cotton fabrics);
- the temperature in the nursery should not exceed + 20 °;
- wear your baby on the weather;
- in summer, use a cream based on water, fatty oil cream leave for the winter.
Treatment of sweating in infants
Seeing the child's sweat, do not panic. She is treated very quickly, just give her a little attention.
- More often bathe the child, using a string or chamomile (you can mix in equal proportions, both these herbs). Sometimes, instead of herbal infusions, you can add a weak solution of potassium permanganate into the water.
- After bathing, wipe the baby well and let him lie down a little naked, just make sure there is not a draft.
- On the skin areas covered with a pad, use not a baby cream, but powder or talc.
Usually, with proper care, sweating on the neck takes 2-4 days, but if you do not see any changes for the better, then the only correct step should be to see a doctor.
