However, after a few days, the child developed small red rashes around the lips and eyes, and the child always She couldn’t help scratching it with her hands. Xiaoli thought it was eczema, and even after applying the ointment, it didn’t work. She had no choice but to take the child to the pediatrician for an examination.
When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed that the child was allergic due to external bacterial infection and required hospitalization. Xiaoli pays attention to the personal items used by the child to check whether there is any uncleanness or unsanitary conditions.
