Methods of prevention of chickenpox

Methods of prevention of chickenpox

There are many myths about a famous viral disease - chickenpox, known as chickenpox. For example, many consider chickenpox as a childhood disease that does not pose a threat to the adult body. Or they see this disease as a harmless lesion, which will soon recede without leaving a trace. In most cases, chickenpox is transmitted, which rewards the patient with lifelong immunity, but in recent years, there has been a mutation in many known viruses, including chickenpox virus, often leading to serious complications, even after successful treatment.

The progression of the disease

In essence, chickenpox is a highly contagious disease, the causative agent of which is a type of herpes virus. The disease is transmitted by airborne drops, and the person becomes infectious one or two days before the first symptoms are discovered - rash.

The incubation period for chickenpox is 7 to 21 days. The first sign of the disease is a rash. For a short period of time, red spots of various shapes cover the entire body of the patient, including the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and groin. During this period, the patient may feel weakness, headache and fever above 38 ° C.

Stains are quickly filled with liquid and turn into papules. Burst, bubble dries, peels and falls. Chickenpox patches appear in the waves during the first 3-5 days. During this period, on the patient's body, you can see a new spot, poured poured and the ulcer healed already. The day when there are no new spots on the body will talk about the end of the disease.

Prevent chickenpox

Chickenpox is often a disease in childhood and adolescence, when the body develops and forms actively. Hence the misconception that chickenpox is not dangerous for an adult. When a child has chickenpox, many parents are concerned about the question: how does the virus not get infected from its child, and is it possible to relapse if it happens before?

It is believed that the acute form of chickenpox occurs only during the initial infection, and after the disease forms a stable immunity. The risk of re-infection is extremely rare and is mainly associated with serious immune system malfunctions. After infection, the chickenpox virus will always remain at the nerve endings and with a sharp decrease in the body's defenses (intake of cortisone, radiation or chemotherapy), it can be activated.

Secondary chickenpox is manifested in the form of herpes zoster (herpes zoster) - a serious disease characterized by localized rashes on the body and severe pain.

In order to prevent infection with chickenpox virus, it is necessary to take preventive measures, the most important of which is quarantine.

The chickenpox virus spreads rapidly through the air, penetrating into adjacent rooms, on stairs and other stairs. It is impossible to hide from it, but isolation remains the only 100% option for the prevention of chickenpox for a healthy person.

In addition to a separate room, individual hygiene products and tools should be allocated to the patient, and his clothes should be washed separately from the things of healthy family members. If the house has a quartz lamp, its use can reduce the risk of injury, but it should be used clearly as instructed.

5 days after the appearance of the last elements of the rash, the patient becomes non-infectious and can be quarantined.

As an option to prevent chickenpox in adults and children, modern medicine offers vaccination. Injection of a mild form of the disease forms an immunity in the body, but to this day there are many opponents of this method.

Get rid of the symptoms of chickenpox

As such, there is no medical treatment for chickenpox. However, the disease has been studied to such an extent that the ways in which it can be diluted and prevent complications are understood.

It is necessary to take into account the fact that the rash caused by chickenpox severely affects it and it is difficult for the patient, especially the child, to refrain from combing it. The most common bacterial complications of chickenpox in children are skin diseases caused by dirt in combed ulcers. In this case, the wounds begin to blister, the skin grows excessively, and swelling appears. This resurrection is fraught with subsequent scarring of the skin: after illness, small scars (smallpox) may remain on the child's body and face.

To avoid smallpox, chickenpox papules should be lubricated using antibacterial creams and gels. For this purpose, the PoxClean cooling hydro gel is suitable for use.

Thanks to the cooling effect, the water gel greatly facilitates the sensation of itching, which helps to avoid combing and scarring. It protects the skin from harmful bacteria, thus accelerating the natural healing process.

The active antibacterial PoxClean complex includes ingredients of natural plant origin. The panthenol, aloe vera, chamomile and lavender extracts listed in the product provide a calm and relaxing effect.

PoxClean can be used by adults and children from the age of two at a time when changing clothes or resuming itching. The tool is also applied after bathing procedures.

During chicken pox, you should only take a different shower and wash your body without a towel so as not to damage the structure of the papules. For the same reason, do not wipe the skin with a towel, it is easy enough to get moisture from the body.

The patient is advised to rest in bed, light drinking and frequent changes of bed linen. Taking into account all health standards, chickenpox retracts without any serious effects on the body. However, during the disease itself and after its completion, it is important to monitor the patient's condition so as not to miss the disturbing symptoms of the development of secondary pathology.
