Chickenpox is one of the most difficult and dangerous infectious diseases. Chickenpox is most common in infants and young children. Experts note that it is much more difficult for an adult to transfer an infection than a child.
Instructions
Step 1
If the child regularly attends kindergarten, then the parents should examine the child's skin more carefully. This is especially true of the period of the so-called chickenpox epidemics. Chickenpox can be different for each person. Some children develop a profuse rash that covers the entire body. Others may develop single foci of inflammation, which are not always immediately visible.
Step 2
Regardless of the form of chickenpox, this disease is always accompanied by the appearance of a small rash on the child's body. At first, you may notice small redness, reminiscent of mosquito bites, which very soon turn into "water" balls.
Step 3
Most often, chickenpox is accompanied by symptoms that resemble acute respiratory infections, acute respiratory infections, or even sore throat. At the same time, the child's body temperature can rise to 39-39.5C. The child may feel weak, sleepy, and chills. Babies begin to be capricious and constantly show their displeasure for no particular reason.
Step 4
A rash on the child's body does not appear immediately, but only 1-2 days after the first symptoms resembling a cold. Water balls spread rapidly throughout the body, including they can appear even on the mucous membranes.
Step 5
Often, parents confuse a rash of chickenpox at the initial stage of development with allergic reactions. The main difference between these diseases is the lesion sites. Chickenpox passes in stages - first, the areas of the head under the scalp are affected, isolated inflammations can be seen on the back or abdomen of the child. Allergic reactions are most often distinguished by a clear localization - the arms, legs, back or face of the child.
Step 6
Note that the chickenpox rash is usually accompanied by severe itching. The bubbles burst, turning into open wounds. If you do not treat the affected areas, then there is a risk of introducing dangerous infections.
Step 7
Water bubbles are immediately treated with brilliant green solution. Within 7-8 days, the inflammation turns into brownish crusts, and then disappears without a trace for several more days.
