The best way to treat chickenpox

Most of us will be accompanied by illnesses of varying degrees throughout our lives, especially in childhood. Since our physical condition is relatively poor at that time, we are often attacked by diseases, and chickenpox is one of them. The incidence of chickenpox in the human body is relatively high, especially among children, which is the highest. This should be related to the poor physical fitness of children. So, what is the best way to treat chickenpox?

Although many people want to know about this issue, for various reasons, most people have no idea about it. As soon as chickenpox breaks out, our parents will be very worried, because chickenpox is harmful to children's bodies and it is contagious. So, in response to this situation, let’s talk about the best way to treat chickenpox.

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 entire 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.

complication:

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 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 can easily cause a type of encephalitis, Reye's Syndrome.

Bathe with warm (not hot) water to keep your skin clean and reduce the risk of infection.

Diet therapy

Although chickenpox confers lifelong immunity, the same filterable virus remains latent in the body and can later cause herpes zoster (commonly known as shingles). To avoid future troubles, you should be careful about your diet and completely eliminate the virus.

Avoid eating hot and nourishing foods.

During the rash period, you should make soup every day with the following ingredients: comfrey, coriander, water chestnut, Imperata root, sugarcane, and carrot. (If your child has asthma, cough or other problems, do not use water chestnuts and carrots)

After the rash has passed, apply:

(a) Puffed fish cheeks porridge;

(b) Boil Qingtiankui (also known as Wuqingkui) with lean meat and a small amount of Chinese and white apricots to clear lung heat.

Through the detailed description of the voice, we all know the best treatment for chickenpox. In fact, the current medical technology for the treatment of chickenpox is already very advanced, so parents don’t need to worry too much after our children get chickenpox. After treatment, the children’s bodies will recover in no time. I hope everyone understands this.
