Baby scarlet fever symptoms?

summary

Speaking of infectious diseases, scarlet fever is absolutely well known. It is an acute infectious disease caused by the pathogen of scarlet fever (group A, group B, hemolytic streptococcus). Clinically, it is characterized by fever, sore throat or accompanied with decay, scarlet rash all over the body, and scaling and peeling after rash. Baby scarlet fever symptoms? Let's talk about my experience.

Baby scarlet fever symptoms?

First of all, it is the prodromal period. In this period, children's symptoms are very similar to cold and fever. This is because the seasonal pathogen of scarlet fever usually invades the body from the mouth and nose in combination with unhealthy Qi (mostly cold pathogen in winter). The throat is the gateway of the lung and stomach, so the seasonal pathogen will eventually reach the lung and stomach. After the incubation period (1-7 days), the evil will turn into heat poison, which will not only rage in the body, but also reach the throat along the meridians. In addition, the lungs will be greatly affected at this time, so there will be high fever, chills, headache, sweating, sore throat, purulence, affecting swallowing and other symptoms.

Second: prodromal period generally does not exceed 24 hours, the vast majority of babies will enter the next period within 24 hours of fever - rash period. The main feature of this stage is rash. This is because the lung dominates the skin and the stomach dominates the muscles, and the toxic heat lurks in the lung and stomach. In addition, it is active and easy to move. It is easy to reach the epidermis along the meridians, which is manifested as rash. This rash is usually first seen in the neck, upper chest, armpit and groin, and can spread all over the body in a day. The rash is a small red papule, like a chicken skin. When touching, it feels like sandpaper. Pressing the rash with your fingers, you can see that the red of the rash recedes and turns pale, but it will return to red after more than ten seconds.

Finally: a week or so from the eruption, most of the baby's symptoms have begun to ease, this time officially into the recovery period. The main symptom of this period is desquamation and peeling. At this time, many parents will worry about whether their baby will fall scars. In fact, after the recovery of this disease, there will be no scars or pigmentation, so parents do not have to worry too much, just pay attention not to let the baby scratch at will, in order to prevent infection.
