While antiseptics are beneficial, their misuse can cause harm, especially in children. Here are some guidelines:
- Follow Instructions: Always use antiseptics as directed by healthcare providers or product labels. - Avoid Overuse: Excessive use can lead to skin irritation or resistance. - Check for Allergies: Some children might be allergic to specific antiseptics, so always perform a patch test if unsure. - Consult Healthcare Providers: For significant wounds or if infections persist, seek professional medical advice.
