Can children's chickenpox be transmitted to adults? Be sure to pay attention to this

Chickenpox is currently a highly contagious disease. It has had a great impact on the bodies of many people. Many people have had chickenpox when they were young, but because they did not receive timely treatment and chickenpox is not properly controlled, it will be transmitted to adults and even to peers. Patients with chickenpox must reduce contact, pay attention to personal hygiene, keep windows open for ventilation, and disinfect quilts and pillows.

How to prevent chickenpox from being infected ?

1. Reduce contact and prevent infection: During the peak period of chickenpox, parents should try to avoid taking their children to hospitals and other public places, and avoid contact between their children and patients with chickenpox or shingles to prevent chickenpox infection. Schools and kindergartens where chickenpox occurs should stop holding large-scale events to reduce the chance of transmission. Children who have been in contact with patients should be observed for 21 to 28 days.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene and enhance physical fitness: Pay attention to personal hygiene, bathe and change clothes for children regularly, keep the skin clean, cut nails frequently, wash hands frequently, insist on physical exercise, enhance disease resistance, and pay attention to adding or removing clothes in time before and after exercise to prevent catching cold.

3. Open the room frequently for ventilation to keep the air fresh: Open windows frequently in classrooms, activity rooms, and bedrooms to keep air circulating. Students on duty should sprinkle water before sweeping the floor. Students should go outdoors during breaks. For classes where students have chickenpox, you can use 84 disinfectant mixed with water to clean desks, chairs, and learning tools, or use 1:100 84 disinfectant to spray the classroom for air disinfection (doors and windows need to be closed when disinfecting the classroom), or you can use ultraviolet disinfection.

4. Carry out publicity and education to keep abreast of the incidence of the disease: Schools should use radio, blackboards, galleries and other forms to publicize knowledge on the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases and enhance students' awareness of self-protection. If a student in the class gets chickenpox, it must be reported to the principal's office and the health center in a timely manner so that the situation can be monitored in a timely manner and appropriate preventive and control measures can be taken as soon as possible. .

5. Vaccination against chickenpox is the most effective means of prevention: So far, there is no specific method to treat chickenpox. Once chickenpox is prevalent in a kindergarten or school, only isolation measures can be taken, which will greatly affect the normal teaching order. However, isolating patients cannot completely prevent the spread of chickenpox because they are contagious two days before the rash appears. Therefore, the most ideal and effective way to prevent chickenpox is to get vaccinated. Currently, developed countries such as the United States have stipulated routine vaccination of varicella among children and adults. Studies have confirmed that after children aged 12 months to 12 years receive one dose of the vaccine, more than 90% can develop protection for more than 6 years, and some people have antibodies lasting for more than 10 years.
