Chickenpox, a skin disease, is not unfamiliar to everyone and is very common in daily life. The main cause of the disease is herpes virus infection, which is highly contagious, with a contact incidence rate of about 90%. If not handled properly, it is likely to leave scars. What should be done if a child develops chickenpox?
The incidence of chickenpox is mainly in children with low immunity. Once discovered, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid greater harm to the child's body. Bed sheets, bedding, close fitting clothing, tableware, toys, and other items that the child has come into contact with should be disinfected. It is important not to wash them with healthy people to avoid infecting others.
From the onset of chickenpox in children to complete dryness and scabbing of the rash area, parents must take good care of it daily. In addition to paying attention to regular disinfection, they also need to pay more attention to their diet, eat more nutritious fruits and vegetables, clear heat and detoxify foods, and make sure to focus on light and non greasy foods, which will help the recovery of the child's condition.
Chickenpox has a wide area of occurrence and may spread throughout the body in severe cases. Occasionally, ulcers may appear in the mouth and nose, but there is no need to worry too much. As long as you actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, chickenpox will generally dry and scab after 2-3 days, and then gradually fall off. During the recovery period, children may feel very itchy, but it is important not to let them scratch to avoid leaving irreparable scars in the future.
