Will chickenpox heal faster with intravenous infusion? How can I do this

Varicella is a very common disease nowadays. It can cause some impact on people. Although chickenpox is generally benign, children still need to be taken good care of after the disease to prevent it from being transmitted to other people. Some parents think that it is better to give chickenpox an infusion. In fact, sometimes chickenpox does not necessarily need treatment.

Medication

Varicella is a benign, self-limiting disease. After falling ill, the child should be isolated and given careful care to prevent complications. If the child has a fever, he or she can rest in bed. Oral antihistamines can control severe itching. Those with high fever may be given antipyretics as appropriate. For patients with severe illness, complications, and children aged 2 to 12 years, early use of acyclovir 20 mg/(kg·d) can alleviate the condition, promote rapid scab formation, and shorten the course of the disease. Adolescent patients can take acyclovir 800 mg/time, 5 times/day, for 5 to 7 days; valacyclovir (valaciclovir) 300 mg, 2 times/day, for 7 days; or penciclovir 50 mg, once every 8 hours, for 7 days. For patients who are resistant to acyclovir, foscarnet 400 mg/(kg·d) can be given by intravenous drip once every 8 hours until cured. For severe bullous hemorrhagic and gangrenous neonatal varicella, early intravenous drip of acyclovir (acyclovir), adenosine, interferon, etc. can also be used.

Apply topically 1% phenolic calamine lotion, 0.5% phthalamide (phthalamide) ointment, or 1% penciclovir cream. For those with secondary infection, use pustular rash mud cream, dyshidrotic eczema mud cream, or mupirocin (Bactroban) ointment. Varicella keratitis can be treated with 0.1% iodine (Herpes Net) eye drops or ribavirin (Viravirin) eye drops.
