How to treat water beans in children

Chickenpox is a disease that many children will get. Because it is highly contagious, those who have chickenpox must first be isolated. Children’s immunity is relatively low. If not treated in time, it will have a great impact on their health and their normal development in the future, so parents must pay attention to it. So, how should children with chickenpox be treated?

Causes of Chickenpox

The disease occurs when the person is infected with shingles for the first time. It is a contagious disease. It is highly contagious, and infants and young children are particularly susceptible to it. The main symptoms are red maculopapular rashes, blisters, and scabs on the skin, and the rash occurs at every stage. The incidence rate among susceptible people is as high as 95%, and the highest incidence rate is among preschool children. The main infection seasons are spring and winter, and the disease can be transmitted through contact or saliva. Chickenpox is a self-limiting disease. After recovery, the patient can obtain lifelong immunity and the chance of recurrence is very low, but shingles may occur after a long time.

Chickenpox in children is highly contagious and has various ways of transmission, which is related to the child's lack of resistance. Parents need to understand the common causes of chickenpox in children and take active protective measures to reduce the possibility of their children getting chickenpox.

1. Chickenpox is highly contagious

First, chickenpox is an epidemic virus that is highly contagious. People with weak immunity who come into contact with people suffering from chickenpox have an incidence rate of up to 92%. Secondly, the main source of infection is sick children, and the infectious period is one or two days before the rash appears and one week after. If a child comes into contact with someone with shingles, he or she may also get chickenpox.

2. Chickenpox is widely spread

The main transmission routes are direct contact and saliva, and it can be transmitted by healthy people even if the distance and time are short, so prevention is difficult. It is easy to be infected if you come into contact with someone who has chickenpox and have not been vaccinated.

3. The child’s own immunity is low

If a child has low immunity, he or she will be more susceptible to infection. Because their immune systems are not yet fully developed, children cannot defend themselves well against the chickenpox virus.

4. Infection through the mother

Children under six months old can obtain antibodies from their mothers, so children at this age will not get chickenpox. However, if a pregnant mother contracts chickenpox during pregnancy, it may be transmitted to the baby. Children will acquire antibodies after having chickenpox, but they may still develop shingles.

Treatment for chickenpox

If the condition is not serious, you can apply gentian violet, carbolic acid solution, etc. If the condition becomes serious, seek medical treatment immediately.

1. People with damaged skin. When the skin is damaged, you can apply 10% gentian violet to the wound.

2. People with itchy skin. If the skin becomes itchy, you can apply 2% carbolic acid or calamine lotion.

3. Those whose herpes has ruptured. If the herpes has broken, you can apply neomycin ointment.

4. Fever. If your child has a fever, use physical cooling methods and it is best not to use aspirin as it may increase the likelihood of Swiss syndrome.

5. Secondary infection. If it is a secondary infection, you can apply tetracycline ointment or antibiotics. If complications such as pneumonia, sepsis, etc. occur, antibiotics can be used. 6. People with more severe itching. If your child has severe itching, give him or her phenergan.

7. Use anti-toxic drugs. If a child has chickenpox, in addition to choosing different topical medications according to different situations, you should also give the child some antiviral drugs if necessary.

(1) Riboviral ribavirin: Oral administration, intramuscular injection or intravenous drip, 7-10 mg/kg/time, once every six hours, for seven to ten days. If you persist for one to two days, the herpes will improve.

(2) Adenosine: The concentration is 10 mg/kg/d, diluted in glucose, and then given by drip. It is effective for some patients.

(3) Acyclovir: 250 mg/M2.d, taken orally in three doses or by intravenous drip. The course of treatment is 5-7 days. The symptoms will improve after three days of use.

8. Tree beans. Also known as pigeon pea, boil it together with Senecio radiata in water, take the juice and wash the body once a day for seven days. If you don't have tree beans, silver flowers will also work.
