Should the baby have a rash after a fever, should he take a bath?

Children often sweat more when they have typhus than the average person. At the same time, always feel uncomfortable, itchy, hot in the body. In fact, having to abstain from water and not bathing will make the baby extremely uncomfortable, along with scratching the itch when the skin is not cleaned will make the child susceptible to dermatological diseases.

In order to quickly reduce the rash after a fever, the child’s skin also needs to be clean and clear.

However, when bathing, parents should pay attention to bathing the baby quickly for about 5-7 minutes, dry immediately and only bathe after the child has no fever.
