Chicken Pox

 

Chicken Pox is another one of those conditions which is every mothers nightmare, however what with modern science and latest medicines specially created for treating Chicken pox the condition is not as much threatening to a person's health as it was years ago.

Chicken pox

The disease is a great worry among women with young new born babies, or even toddler age in having said that.    It is a highly contagious kiddies sickness like that of measles which we link to the most vulnerable, and that being young kids. 

This condition brings itch rash and blisters which calamine lotion work wonders for helping to ease the discomfort from scratching or take burst blister pain away. The condition is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and usually runs its course without further issues. It is a viral infection and is easily transmitted from one person to another through direct contact with the open chickenpox blisters and through airborne droplets.

The infectious period lasts about three days, - before the rash shows up and until all the blisters have formed into scabs.

The incubation period between being infected with chickenpox until the condition breaks out and symptoms appear, is 10 to 20 days. Chicken pox symptoms to look out for if your baby or toddler has the disease usually include.

A rash normally on the body on the face and later often spreading to the scalp and limbs. It can also spread to the mucous membranes especially in the mouth, and in and around  the privates (genitals.)     

The rash is often itchy - Small red spots develop turning into blisters within a couple of hours - Usually its a couple of days when the blisters turn into scabs. - New blisters can happen after three days leading up to six days. - The amount of blisters change in people. - Temperature. - Chickenpox lasts 7 to 10 days in children and longer in adults.

With age chicken pox might have older folk take a longer recovery period. Grown ups are more commonly known to suffer complications than that of young babies and toddlers.  Pregnant women who have not had chickenpox may suffer more so than that of others. A weak immune system in people can give reason for concern if they catch chicken pox.

Treatments for treating chicken pox are usual types of medication purely for easing the symptoms. Keep your child and others safe by keeping them away from people till the chicken pox has been cleared.

If possible stop the child doing certain things that can worsen the condition

1 Avoid scratching the blisters because of the risk of infection.
2 Cut the nails short or make the patient wear gloves.

Not in all cases but scars may remain where the blisters were sited on the body, and not just from scratching. In very rare cases, chickenpox can be a  result of complications such as meningitis encephalitis, inflammation of the heart (myocarditis) or Reye's syndrome.
