00:00The babies are so cute, that's why some people can't help but kiss and smell the baby.
00:16But is it true that kissing is possible to cure the problem in the baby's skin?
00:31Baby Thalia, who is 5 months old, cries when she wakes up every morning.
00:37We noticed that she was irritated when she woke up.
00:41Then we saw something red in her mouth.
00:44Then she cried and cried.
00:47The so-called simple allergy gradually disappeared.
00:52The redness on Baby Thalia's face spread.
00:58The redness on her face increased.
01:01Her whole face turned red.
01:03Then her whole body turned red.
01:05When we touched her skin, she started crying.
01:08It was like she was suffocating.
01:13The doctor advised Rachel to immediately take Baby Thalia to the hospital.
01:19We looked for a hospital.
01:20There were a lot of people who didn't accept her because they said that the disease is contagious.
01:25This disease is in the bloodstream.
01:28It's hematogenous.
01:29So it's better to admit them to the hospital.
01:32They will be given first aid.
01:34You treat them like burn patients because the skin of our patients is removed.
01:43The redness of the skin reached the wound, skin, and breast.
01:47That's why it's hard for Rachel to hold the baby.
01:51It's hard for her to find roots.
01:54Because when you touch her, her hands start to hurt.
01:59We both cried in the hospital.
02:02Baby also cried when I saw her face.
02:08According to the pediatrician, Dr. Reynalin San Andres,
02:11this is called Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome
02:15or the infection in the skin that causes rashes and peeling.
02:20Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome usually occurs when we have a bacterium called Staphylococcus aureus.
02:29This bacterium usually releases exotoxins.
02:33This can produce skin problems such as redness of the skin,
02:40blisters, and also desquamation or peeling of a large part of the body.
02:48It's like they were poured with hot water or hot liquid.
02:51Their skin starts to bleed excessively.
02:54According to the doctor, some of its symptoms are rashes and irritation.
03:01There will be fluid-filled blisters.
03:04When you touch it, it breaks easily.
03:07This is usually related to tenderness and pain.
03:11After which, they also have desquamation or peeling of a large part of the body.
03:20This disease usually occurs in children under 5 years of age.
03:26It occurs in children because they don't have a neutralizing antibody for the exotoxin of Staphylococcus aureus.
03:33Number two, of course, being children, their immunity is decreased.
03:37And last but not the least, children are immature.
03:40So, they can't excrete the exotoxin in their bloodstream.
03:46Mami Racia believes that her baby may have a skin disease.
03:53My eldest son has a wound on his head.
03:58That's what the doctor said.
03:59Maybe that's why he got infected.
04:01He has a wound on his head and on his body.
04:04Now, this baby has a weak immune system.
04:09The bacteria passed to him.
04:12She also believes that it's possible that Baby Thalia also got the bacteria from repeatedly kissing her son's cheek.
04:20It's also said that the bacteria in the mouth are from kissing the baby.
04:26It's also said that the bacteria in the mouth are from kissing the baby.
04:28It's also said that the bacteria in the mouth are from kissing the baby.
04:32It's also said that the bacteria in the mouth are from kissing the baby.
04:37Doc explained that it's usually caused by direct skin-to-skin contact and bacterial skin infection.
04:43For example, we have used patients who have skin infections.
04:49Particularly, skin infections like when we use towels or clothes.
04:56That's why, for Rachel, kissing the baby is off-limits.
05:02Sometimes, it's embarrassing to touch the baby.
05:07But for me, it's also for the safety of the baby.
05:13According to the doctor, make sure that everything you use is clean.
05:17This is a type of illness that does not require long-term medicine if it was taken earlier.
05:24For our parents, we should always keep our hands clean.
05:29Let's avoid borrowing things that we use on our body,
05:34such as towels, clothes, soap, anything that is in contact with the body.
05:42Babies are really cuteness overload.
05:48But remember, be gentle and careful with the baby's skin.
05:53Mama!
05:55So that the skin is soft, smooth, and healthy.
