Heat rash (miliaria) typically does not require specific treatment; however, topical ointments or calamine powder may be applied as appropriate. Additionally, enhance daily care: change your baby’s clothes frequently, bathe them regularly, dress them in comfortable, breathable clothing, maintain a moderate indoor temperature—neither too high nor too low—and ensure good air circulation. Encourage adequate fluid intake to prevent excessive sweating. For breastfeeding mothers, maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods.
