What's wrong with the red bumps on the three-year-old baby's body?

Chickenpox is an epidemic infectious disease in spring. Most patients are children aged one to fourteen, who are more likely to be infected in schools and nurseries. Pathogen: Varicella-zoster virus

Incubation period: 10 to 21 days Symptoms before onset: Mild fever, malaise, poor appetite Process: Small red spots appear on the patient's body, starting from the chest and abdomen, and then spreading to the whole body. The small red spots grow larger and become blisters filled with fluid. After a day or two, the blisters burst and form crusts or bumps. A new red dot appears again at the same position, and the same process repeats. New red spots appear two to four times during two to six days. After ten to fourteen days, the red spots will fall off and the condition will be completely healed without leaving any scars.

Complications: Chickenpox is usually a mild disease and does not cause serious complications. However, if adults get chickenpox, the condition is often more serious, with high fever, headache, muscle pain, etc. In addition, patients with chronic diseases, especially those with leukemia or cancer, or those taking steroid drugs, should be extra careful because chickenpox can cause complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and even death.

Care: Prevent children from scratching the blisters due to unbearable itching, which may cause inflammation and spread bacteria to other damaged skin areas. If a baby is infected with chickenpox, you can put cotton gloves on him to prevent him from rubbing his eyes with his hands, which would infect the eyes with the virus and cause keratitis, leaving scars on the cornea and affecting vision. One of the symptoms of chickenpox is a mild fever. The fever starts while the chickenpox spreads and goes away when the chickenpox disappears. Do not take aspirin to reduce a fever during your fever as this can increase the chance of complications. It is easy to cause a type of encephalitis.

The above content is about the reasons why red bumps grow on children's bodies. During the outbreak period of chickenpox, many babies of this age will be infected with chickenpox, but parents must be careful not to let children scratch the chickenpox on their bodies to avoid infection and the occurrence of other diseases. So if you find that your child has signs of chickenpox, be sure to take your baby to the hospital for treatment.
