What happens after getting the chickenpox shot?

Because chickenpox is a widely contagious disease and patients are generally young, the relevant national departments have developed a vaccine specifically for this disease, called the chickenpox vaccine. Now hospitals in many regions have the conditions to vaccinate babies with the chickenpox vaccine. At this time, parents only need to take their babies to the hospital for vaccination on time. So, what is the reaction after the chickenpox shot?

Chickenpox is common in spring and autumn, and 90% of cases occur in children, so most children over one year old will be vaccinated against chickenpox. The chickenpox shot is injected subcutaneously. Some skin reactions will occur within one or two days after the injection, such as rashes, itchy skin, and papules. However, these are normal phenomena and will disappear on their own within three days. You should get plenty of rest after getting the chickenpox vaccine to reduce the side effects of the vaccine.

In terms of diet, you should also pay attention to eating less fish, shrimp, seaweed and other irritating foods, otherwise it will cause redness and swelling at the injection wound.

The affected area will feel unbearable itching, so parents need to understand some matters related to caring for chickenpox patients to promote their children's recovery. First and foremost, it is important to prevent children from scratching the chickenpox. If the chickenpox is scratched, it will leave permanent scars, seriously affecting the child’s appearance. Chickenpox patients sometimes also have high fever. At this time, try to avoid using hormones during treatment, otherwise it will promote the growth of chickenpox. Then pay attention to skin hygiene, change bed sheets and clothes frequently, but it is best not to take a bath, because if the affected area is broken during bathing, it will cause wound infection.

The above is a brief introduction to the reaction after getting the chickenpox shot and the precautions for getting chickenpox. I hope it can provide some help to patients with chickenpox. In addition, children will feel extremely uncomfortable during the chickenpox period, so they will cry and make a fuss. Parents should try their best to comfort their children's emotions. At the same time, you should control your emotions and not be anxious, so as not to affect your children.
