Symptoms of chickenpox

The incubation period of chicken pox is so popular among the peoplecalled chickenpox - 21 days. Most often, the symptoms appear 14 days after infection. For this, it is not at all necessary to enter into close contact with the sick person, it is enough to simply stay with him in one space, since chickenpox is transmitted by airborne droplets. Diagnosis can be diagnosed immediately following several signs: headache, joint aches, fever and blistering rash - this is the main symptom of this disease and the most unpleasant, since it is the rash that causes a wild itch, and combing the vesicles, as a rule, leads to suppuration of the wound. Veterinarian is considered a childhood sore, rebolevayut it at the age of 7 years. It is then that the disease is less complicated and does not carry virtually any complications. If a person falls ill with it in adulthood, there are possible various negative consequences, so doctors recommend that everyone who has not had chicken pox as a child should be vaccinated after 14 years.

Treatment of Bubble Disease

The first thing to do with the sick person isisolate it from healthy people for the entire period of rashes and for the next 5 days after the last crust disappears. The treatment is usually at home and is aimed at reducing the patient's discomfort by lowering the temperature and eliminating itching. For the first, they take medicines, and for the second they use ointments and solutions. Zelinka, salicylic alcohol, solution of potassium permanganate and fucocin, a drug with violet staining are suitable. If there are rashes at the mouth, you can use acyclovir if in the oral cavity, broths of chamomile and marigold .Photo: Getty Images At what age it is necessary to vaccinate and whether it is worth it to decide at all, Wday.ru was told by infectious disease specialist Anna Timofeeva.The vaccine against chickenpox appeared back in 1974year, which helped to significantly reduce the incidence of the disease in children and adults, because this disease is not so harmless. Complication after chickenpox can be encephalitis, pneumonia, disfiguring scars on the skin of the body, pneumonitis, blood infection and congenital chickenpox, which is diagnosed in 1 adult from 1000 and 1 child per 10 000. Chickenpox vaccine is an effective way to form the immunity of this virus in 95% of vaccinated children under 5 years, in 78% to 13 years. Therefore, WHO strongly recommends double puncture of the vaccine to people over 13 years old. In Russia, chickenpox vaccination is not mandatory. It is made for anyone who wishes since the age of 2 only since 2008. It is not wise to vaccinate with chickenpox, because he has already developed lifelong immunity, but to use the vaccine as a preventive measure in case of contact with the patient, provided that the vaccine is introduced within 72 hours. Then the infection can be avoided. In Russia, this practice is not widespread. Whether to vaccinate in our country, everyone decides for himself. However, if you recall the symptoms of the infection, you will see that this disease is quite capable of leading to negative consequences. Take, for example, a pregnant woman who had not previously had chickenpox. This infection can lead to miscarriage in the early stages or to the formation of congenital malformations in the fetus if the disease was rescheduled before the 20th week of gestation. A chickenpox in a future mother in the week before childbirth can cause the development of congenital chickenpox in the baby. Besides, the body is very weak after the disease and easily surrenders before the attacks of colds, bronchitis, influenza and other sores, Anna Timofeeva believes.
