What should you pay attention to when you get chickenpox?

Some parents think that if their baby gets chickenpox, they just need to stay at home. In fact, it is not that simple. The baby must receive formal treatment. In addition, you should pay more attention to your diet and avoid eating spicy or irritating foods.

1. If you have chickenpox, first of all, don't be nervous. If you have chickenpox, you must let the chickenpox break out. This is good for the patient. If it cannot break out and the toxins cannot be discharged, you will get myocarditis and encephalitis. After the hospital confirms that it is chickenpox, the patient will be prescribed some medicine, such as Pueraria lobata for anti-inflammatory and acyclovir. If the patient has unbearable itching, some anti-itching lotions will be prescribed for washing, such as calamine lotion. Apply calamine lotion on the chickenpox. Never let the broken chickenpox come into contact with water, as it will become inflamed, and once inflamed, it will leave deep acne scars.

2. Things to note about diet : Eat light food and try not to eat salty food, as that will make the itching worse and delay the healing time. You can eat some porridge, rice soup, milk, noodles and bread, and you can also add some soy products.

During the chickenpox period, patients may have dry stools due to fever. At this time, they should drink more water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat more leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, celery, spinach, and bean sprouts. You can also eat winter melon, cucumber, etc.

Foods not to eat: cold, greasy food, fish, shrimp, crab, beef, mutton, etc., as these may aggravate the condition. Spicy and irritating food. Such as chili, pepper, ginger and garlic, can cause internal heat, which is not conducive to a speedy recovery from the illness.

3. Chickenpox is contagious. After checking with doctors and reading information on the internet, I am pretty sure that as long as the scab doesn't fall off, it will be contagious. . . Moreover, I found that there are a lot of adults suffering from chickenpox this year, so you must pay attention. If you didn’t have it as a child, remember to drink Isatis root. If someone in your family has chickenpox, they must be isolated and disinfected to prevent further infection. The contagious period of chickenpox ends when all the scabs fall off.
