What should I do if I have water beans?

When we were young, it was very easy to grow water beans. Although some adults also get chickenpox now, most people are more likely to get chickenpox because their resistance is weak when they are young. So, what should you do if your child develops pimples? Generally speaking, in order to avoid infecting other people, it is best for your child to rest at home at this time. At the same time, parents also need to do some prevention and care work.

What to do if your child gets chickenpox

1. Isolation to avoid infection: Because chickenpox is a highly contagious acute infectious disease, the main transmission routes are respiratory tract and direct contact. When a baby is diagnosed with chickenpox, if the baby attends kindergarten, mothers should take the baby home for isolation and treatment to avoid infecting other children in the school. Isolation should continue until all blisters are dry and crusted.

2. Open windows to promote air circulation: Air circulation can also kill viruses in the air. Of course, mothers should also pay attention to the temperature in the room not being too low to prevent the baby from catching cold and getting sick, and keep warm. In addition, sunlight in the room can use ultraviolet rays to kill viruses.

3. Baby's daily necessities should be disinfected separately for use: Clothes, bedding, towels, dressings, toys, and tableware that have come into contact with chickenpox herpes fluid should be washed, dried, ironed, boiled, or burned for disinfection according to the situation, and should not be shared with healthy adults. At the same time, you should change your clothes and bedding frequently to keep your skin clean.

4. Avoid your baby from scratching the rash with his hands: When your baby has chickenpox, the skin will feel itchy, and the baby may accidentally scratch the rash, aggravating the infection. Therefore, mothers should take care to prevent their babies from scratching the acne on their face, hands, etc., so as to prevent the herpes from being scratched and becoming infected with pus. If the lesions are deep, they may leave scars. To prevent this from happening, keep your child's nails short and keep their hands clean. You can sew a pair of gloves with the raw edges facing outwards, or wrap his hands with gauze. If the herpes breaks, apply 1% gentian violet. If there is suppuration, apply antibiotic ointment.
