Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease with a high incidence rate, which mainly occurs in children and has a certain impact on the healthy growth of children. Therefore, when parents find that children have chicken pox, they should not be negligent. They should take their children to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Some parents ask, does a child need injection when he has chicken pox?
After a child is diagnosed with chickenpox, some blisters may appear on the surface of their skin, and some children may also experience fever symptoms. If the symptoms are not very severe, the child only needs to take some antiviral drugs for treatment. However, if the fever symptoms exceed 38.5 degrees, antipyretic drugs need to be taken. If the condition develops more severely, injections are also needed for treatment. Specific treatment methods should follow the doctor's instructions.
Under normal circumstances, children with chickenpox disease can usually recover within two weeks as long as they receive targeted treatment. However, due to the contagious nature of chickenpox disease, parents should ensure that their children are isolated and wait until the blisters dry and scab. Nevertheless, since chickenpox is a self limiting disease, lifelong immunity can be obtained after the disease is cured.
Chickenpox disease is mainly transmitted through direct contact and saliva. Even if the contact distance and time are short, as long as the child comes into contact with someone who has contracted chickenpox and has not received the chickenpox vaccine, they are easily infected with the disease. Therefore, parents who want their children to effectively prevent chickenpox disease can only give them the chickenpox vaccine for self immunity, so that the body has immunity against chickenpox disease.
