I feel a sore throat when I have chickenpox, please pay attention to these

Chickenpox is a very common skin disease. Once it occurs, it will infect the whole body, causing itching of the skin in many parts of the body, accompanied by dizziness, headache, and signs of cold and fever. Although chickenpox is similar to fever and cold at the beginning, most parents will mistakenly think that their children have caught a cold. However, about a week after the fever, small bumps and blisters begin to appear on the body, and when it becomes more and more serious, it will be diagnosed as chickenpox.

What should you pay attention to when your child has chickenpox ?

Children in junior high school will experience a variety of symptoms, not just itchy skin, but also dizziness, headaches, and even signs of colds and fevers. Therefore, many children often get chickenpox and have sore throats. During this period, you must change new clothes frequently, keep the skin clean and tidy, and avoid letting your baby scratch the chickenpox with his hands. Scratching will leave scars and cause local suppuration and infection, which can be transmitted to others and other parts of the body.

1. Isolation

Patients suspected or confirmed to have varicella should be isolated. Children who go to school or daycare can generally be isolated at home. If there are other children in the family who have not had chickenpox, they should choose another place to live or not live in the same room with the patient. Isolation should continue until all blisters are dry and crusted.

2. Open windows at regular intervals

Air circulation also has the effect of killing viruses in the air. But when ventilating the room, be careful to prevent the child from catching cold. Let as much sunlight into the room as possible and open the glass windows (glass can block ultraviolet rays that kill viruses).

3. Change clothes and bedding frequently to keep your skin clean

Clothes, bedding, towels, dressings, toys, and tableware that have come into contact with chickenpox herpes fluid should be washed, dried in the sun, ironed, boiled, or burned to disinfect them, depending on the situation, and should not be shared with healthy people.

4. Avoid your baby from scratching acne with his hands

Be especially careful not to scratch the acne on your face, so as to avoid infection due to purulent infection. If the lesions are deep, they may leave scars. To prevent this from happening, keep your child's nails short and keep their hands clean. You can sew a pair of gloves with the raw edges facing outwards, or wrap his hands with gauze. If the herpes breaks, apply 1% gentian violet. If there is suppuration, apply antibiotic ointment.
