In childhood, chickenpox is relatively easy to carry, and three weeks after the onset of the disease, the baby in green spots returns to school or kindergarten. With adults, the situation is different - high fever and rash, traces of which can remain for life, various complications. If at one time you have not had chickenpox, you need to take measures so as not to catch it from a child.
It is necessary
- - vaccination against chickenpox;
- - "Acyclovir";
- - "Cycloferon".
Instructions
Step 1
A vaccine has been developed against chickenpox, which allows you to completely protect yourself from the disease or get sick in a mild form. The vaccine is given to both adults and children over a year old. Teens over the age of thirteen and adults should receive the vaccine twice, while babies are vaccinated once. The vaccine begins to work within seventy-two hours, so if you have a sick person at home, it makes sense to get vaccinated.
Step 2
Try to minimize contact with an infected baby. Transfer the care of him to his spouse, grandparents, aunt - to people who have had chickenpox. There is no shame in this, because otherwise your loved ones will have to care for two patients.
Step 3
Chickenpox is an airborne disease. Therefore, you should take the standard measures for the prevention of such diseases. Ventilate the area regularly and wear a gauze bandage. Give the sick child a separate dish, towel. This will slightly reduce the risk of infection. Do the cleaning as often as possible, treat the objects with which the sick child came into contact with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
Step 4
It is much easier for a person with reduced immunity to get infected than a healthy one. Constantly strengthen the immune system, eat vegetables and fruits, take vitamin complexes and get a good sleep. Of course, this will not completely protect you from the risk of getting sick, but the chances of chickenpox will be less.
Step 5
A complex reception of "Acyclovir" and "Cycloferon" can save an adult from chickenpox, even if he is in constant contact with an infected child. Usually "Acyclovir" is prescribed to drink within three weeks of the child's illness, "Cycloferon" is taken only in the first week, while chickenpox is contagious. If you decide to protect yourself with medication, be sure to consult with your doctor about medications and their dosage.
