ChickenPox: Causes, Diagnosis And Treatment Guide

It’s summer time having allot of heat in which itches and rashes are common. A common disease in the summer, chicken pox occurs mostly in children and sometimes in adults. Rashes that are accompanied with fever between the range of 102 to 103 degrees and general fatigue are the most tell-tale symptoms of the disease.

Chicken pox is a condition that is caused due to infection by a virus called Varicella Zoster virus (VZV). It is a highly contagious disease that is spread via contact with an infected person. Although it is believed that chicken pox is spread mostly by particles in the air, the most common way a person can get infected is by touching objects that may have been used by the patient. So avoid it so as to be safe.

Once the rashes appear, a person with chicken pox should not be in contact with other people, as he/she is highly contagious at this time. After about seven to ten days, the rashes dry out and a scab forms. Once these scabs fall off, a person is considered non-contagious. A person usually suffers from chicken pox for about 10-15 days. Chicken pox is usually seen in children under the age of 15 but can occur in adults as well. Doctors say that if an adult suffers from the disease, it usually lasts longer and is more severe. The good thing is if you get the disease once you can’t get it again. This is because the body manufactures antibodies against the virus and prevents it from occurring again. The disease takes about 14 to 24 days after infection to manifest as symptoms.

Pregnant woman have higher risk as they have chicken pox as it leads to have a weak immune system which can affect the foetus and mother very adversely. If a pregnant woman contracts the disease between the first and second trimester of pregnancy there is less chance but chance is that the baby may be born with a condition called Congenital Varicella Syndrome (CVS). In this condition the child is born with certain congenital defects such as malformation of limbs scarring of the skin, , an abnormally small head, some neurological problems and vision defects. A woman and her child are at greatest risk if chicken pox is contracted between the 13th and 20th week of pregnancy and five days before delivery and two days after delivery. This kind of chicken pox can give the baby what is called newborn chicken pox.

Do and Do not's:-

Have a bath in warm water infused with neem leaves. Another natural remedy for itchiness of the rash is to soak some oatmeal in warm water and use it for a bath. This will help to reduce the itchiness and get rid of any skin infections that might occur. Do use calamine lotion to soothe the skin, ask for a lotion that soothes the skin while not making it dry. Drying the skin could increase the itchiness.

Do not scratch the rashes. Scratching them can cause severe skin infections. Apart from the obvious disadvantages of scratching, the pus that oozes out from the rash can spread infection to other people.

Do take adequate rest, do not over exert yourself. This will delay the recovery process by weakening your immune system. Do stay away or keep your child away from other children and people. Chicken pox is highly contagious and is easily spread.

Do wear or put socks on your child’s hands at night so that they don’t scratch their rashes while sleeping. Remember to cut your nails well so as to avoid scratching yourself. To relieve the itchiness you could wash a bunch of neem leaves in warm water and stroke it over the rashes.

So here is all about chicken pox do consult with your doctor if u find symptoms in you. For any query do ask me i will be happy to answer you.
