The possibility of chickenpox occurring in early childhood is relatively high, and the harm of chickenpox to young children is well known. However, many parents are not aware of the early symptoms of chickenpox, which leads to the failure to detect abnormalities in their children in a timely manner. So, what are the early symptoms of chickenpox in young children?
What are the early symptoms of chickenpox in young children
When chickenpox first appears, children will have a lot of rash, and the rash is more likely to appear on the child's body and head. Over time, it will gradually spread throughout the body because the rash caused by chickenpox is generally oval in shape, and there will be noticeable redness around the chickenpox.
Does chickenpox develop quickly in young children
When a child develops a rash caused by chickenpox, the rash will develop rapidly, followed by the appearance of red spots. After a few hours, it will turn into papules, and then into herpes. When it becomes herpes, the itching on the skin will be particularly severe.
How long does it take for young children's chickenpox to recover
After itching occurs, chickenpox will slowly dry up and scab. This process does not take very long, about six to eight hours. If there is no infection during this period, then scabbing will occur after one or two weeks. Generally, as long as proper care is taken, there will be no scars after scabbing.
