What should I do if my baby has chickenpox?

It is quite common for babies to get chickenpox. When babies have chickenpox, you need to keep their skin clean and be careful not to scratch the skin. There are bacteria on the hands, and scratching the skin may damage the skin and cause infection or leave scars. Do not eat spicy food, fried food and other irritating foods. Eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement the body's vitamins, and drink more warm water. What should I do if my baby has chickenpox? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Discover it early and go to the hospital quickly.

Because this is contagious, as soon as you find a large number of children with this condition, you must always pay attention and observe carefully when bathing every day. So I discovered my baby's chickenpox as soon as possible, and then took him to a specialist hospital to treat the rash. I went to a local regular dermatologist and skin prevention center.

2. Don’t go out for a breeze, but make sure your home is well ventilated

The old people said that if you have chickenpox you must be careful not to go out in the wind, otherwise you will have pockmarks on your face and look ugly. This is the face that girls love the most, so I listened to the old man and didn't let her go out to get some fresh air. She even wore one of my big scarves when she went to the hospital. Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst. However, the windows at home must be opened to maintain air circulation, which will also help recover faster.

3. Eat a light diet and try to limit the intake of foods that are too irritating or have a strong fishy smell

The most important thing is to have a light diet. Stop eating seafood and other dishes with strong fishy smell, and don't let her eat some fried foods. Eat more vegetables and less greasy food. My baby loves to eat porridge, so I make lean meat porridge for her and add some coriander at the end. Coriander has a strong detoxifying function and is very effective when she has chickenpox.

4. Drink more water and eat more fruits

Drinking more water has a great effect on human health. Children with chickenpox need to drink more water to eliminate toxins in the body. Doctors have repeatedly told this. You should also eat more fruits, which are rich in vitamins and contain a lot of water.

5. Cleanliness and hygiene are also particularly important

Be sure to keep your baby clean and hygienic. Because the body is itchy and you have to apply medicine constantly, you must use Chinese medicine with cooling effect to boil water for your child to wash every day. It not only has a certain effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, but also can relieve itching. I use honeysuckle to boil water, and the effect is very good. Of course, if the conditions are not met, you can just wash it with clean water, but you must also keep warm, because you may get a fever due to the cold. After cleaning it well and applying the medicine properly, the itching will be controlled.

6. Always pay attention to your child's temperature changes

Chickenpox is usually accompanied by fever, so you must always pay attention to changes in your baby's body temperature. Over time, the baby can usually sense whether he has a fever with his hands. If the temperature feels a little high, use a thermometer to measure it and then go to the hospital for treatment. Many patients can only receive intravenous drips to lower their body temperature. The baby is under my control and fortunately he doesn’t have a fever.

7. Don’t let your child scratch pimples

This is a bit difficult, but there is a way. During the day, I stopped all the things I was doing to accompany her, tell her stories, distract her attention, and then let her watch cartoons and play games appropriately. When the child's attention is distracted, she will not scratch. The most important thing is that mothers must accompany their children and apply medicine when they see that they are itchy, which will reduce the number of times they scratch.

8. Notes

Be sure not to go to crowded places again, because this is a contagious skin disease. Stay at home with your children.
