Blisters on child's skin

Blisters are also a type of herpes, with a lot of pus inside. They are generally caused by various inflammations, so the pus contains a lot of germs, parasites and other scary creatures. Blisters will spread on the body, large and small. Once discovered, you should seek medical attention in time to control the infection of the blisters. Especially when children get blisters, young people have particularly poor self-control and may scratch them accidentally. So what happens when blisters appear on children’s skin and what should we do?

Chickenpox is an acute infectious disease caused by primary infection with the varicella-zoster virus. The infection rate is high. It mainly occurs in infants and young children, and is characterized by fever and the appearance of large numbers of systemic red maculopapular rashes, blisters, and scabs. It is more common in winter and spring. It is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contact or droplets. The incidence rate in susceptible children can reach over 95%, and it is more common in preschool children. The clinical characteristics are the appearance of maculopapular rashes, blisters and crusts in batches on the skin and mucous membranes, and the rashes of different stages exist at the same time.

The disease is a self-limiting disease, and the patient can obtain lifelong immunity after the disease. However, the infection may recur after many years and cause shingles. Because chickenpox is generally a mild disease, if it is confirmed to be chickenpox, you can also take care of it at home without going to the hospital. However, children over 10 years old who have chickenpox are more likely to develop high fever and rash, with more severe symptoms and scars.

Therefore, children should be prevented from getting chickenpox in early childhood as much as possible. People who had chickenpox as children and are immune to it will develop symptoms called shingles when they get the disease again as adults. It spreads along the nerves on one side of the body and becomes herpes simplex. It spreads along the nerves on one side of the body and becomes herpes with neuralgia.

Chickenpox is caused by a viral infection, so antibiotics are ineffective. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used clinically to fight viruses. Those with mild symptoms do not need to take medicine, just rest properly and adjust their diet.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chickenpox is caused by accumulation of dampness and heat in the body and seasonal viruses, so there is no need to strengthen nutrition in particular. A light diet is recommended, such as porridge, rice soup, milk, noodles and bread. You can also add some soy products, lean pork, etc. During the chickenpox period, the sick child may have dry stools due to fever. At this time, they need to replenish enough water, drink more water, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon juice, fresh pear juice, fresh orange juice and tomato juice.

Eat more leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, celery, spinach, and bean sprouts. Leafy vegetables contain more crude fiber, which can help clear away accumulated heat in the body and facilitate bowel movements; you can also eat winter melon, cucumber, etc. which can clear away heat and dampness.

The above is a detailed introduction to the causes of chickenpox. When a child has chickenpox, you must pay attention to the child’s daily diet. At this time, it is necessary to avoid certain foods. Some irritating foods must not be given to children. Eat more lighter foods and don’t be tempted by outside delicacies. And also keep the child's body clean, wipe or wash it every three hours.
