Chicken pox is very common in children, being actually a children' s
disease. It is very contagious and it is actually nothing but a viral
infection. Chicken pox is cause by a virus called varicella zoster,
thus the medical term for chicken pox: varicella. There are few
complications in chicken pox cases, but when they occur, they are very
serious. It does not matter if you are otherwise healthy.
The next step that will happen in your child' s chicken pox case is
that the rash will start to develop into blisters that are filled with
fluid. Eventually, these chicken pox blisters will dry, form scabs and
fall off. Children are more fortunate than adults when it come to
chicken pox symptoms, as well as chicken pox complications caused by
infection. If there is the case of infection in a child that suffers
from chicken pox, rest assure that this will be a very mild case, with
no side- effect.
Besides the rash that you get on your skin
when suffering from chicken pox, there are also some other symptoms
that might indicate that you have been infected. If you have a slight
fever, for no apparent reason, or if you suffer from a headache, you
can blame these conditions on chicken pox. If you have been infected
with chicken pox, do not expect this disease to disappear in a few
days. From the first signs of chicken pox, you will probably be sick
almost a month. However, there are chicken pox cases where the patients
will suffer no more than ten days.
Follow the above home remedies and the tips below to relieve the symptoms and effects of chicken pox:
1. All juice diet - Put the patient on an all juice diet for a couple
of days. Give the patient plenty of raw fruit and veggie juices. Lemon
juice is known to be one of the best juices to give the patient.
2. Well-balanced diet - At first, put the patient on a 100% fruit diet.
After the condition seems to be improving, switch the patient to a more
well-balanced diet.
3. Well-ventilated room - Keep the patient in a well-ventilated room. Be sure to keep the patient from any direct light.
The disease can be fatal. Pregnant women and those with immune system
depression are more at risk. Death is usually from varicella pneumonia.
In the US, 55 percent of chicken pox deaths were in the over-20 age
group. Pregnant women not known to be immune and who come into contact
with chicken pox should contact their doctor immediately, as the virus
can cause serious problems for the fetus.
Because the
blisters that are cause by chicken pox are filled with fluid, the risk
of developing an infection is very great. So make sure that your child
washes his/ her hands at least three times every day. Also try to keep
the skin affected by chicken pox as clean as possible. Infections in
children suffering from chicken pox are not very sever, but there is
always the risk of a big infection.
