What to do if you have a chickenpox headache

Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease and also one that has a relatively high incidence rate among children. Once chickenpox occurs, in addition to causing damage to the child's skin, there will also be some other complications that will affect the child's physical health. For example, some chickenpox patients will suffer from headaches due to chickenpox. At this time, it is not only necessary to treat chickenpox, but also to relieve headaches. Below we will give you a detailed introduction to the care methods for patients with chickenpox headache.

Isolation at the first time

Chickenpox is highly contagious. It can be said that if two or three children in a class have chickenpox, then all the children in the class will be infected with chickenpox in a short period of time. Many mothers say that their children will not be infected after being vaccinated. This is not necessarily true. Many children can still be infected with chickenpox after being vaccinated. Therefore, when a child gets chickenpox, the child should be isolated immediately. This can prevent further infection and also provide care for the child so that he or she can recover as soon as possible.

Disinfect your child's belongings

Some people say that since the child has already had chickenpox, what is the point of disinfection? This is simply nonsense. The more children have chickenpox, the more important it is to disinfect their belongings. This not only prevents others from being infected after coming into contact with these items, but also prevents cross infection and repeated infection. All items, including children's clothes, toys, all tableware, towels, bedding, etc., should be exposed to the sun or taken apart and washed. Toys and tableware can be disinfected by boiling in hot water.

Keep indoor air circulating

If a child with chickenpox is placed in a hot and humid environment, or in a poorly sanitary or air-stifled environment, then the child's chickenpox will not heal quickly and may also cause other diseases. Therefore, after a child is diagnosed with chickenpox, it is important to pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of the child’s living environment, with plenty of sunlight and good air circulation, so as to disinfect the room.

Be careful not to scratch the chickenpox. Chickenpox is accompanied by severe itching, which is a very cruel test for a child, especially a very young baby. They don’t care whether it will leave scars or not and will just try to scratch the itch. So when a child has chickenpox, the caregiver should not do anything but focus on taking care of the child. Keep your child's nails short and it is best to wear gloves for young babies. Once these blisters are scratched, they will not only leave scars but also cause infection.

Pay attention to your child's diet

If a breastfed child gets chickenpox, the mother must pay attention to her diet and avoid eating greasy, spicy and other irritating foods, as well as a series of hair-raising foods. If a child with chickenpox has started eating complementary foods, you should also pay attention to adjusting the child's diet. He can drink some mung bean soup appropriately. As for seafood, irritating foods, and hot foods, they should not be eaten.

Actively relieve itching for children

Children with chickenpox usually lie down all day to rest, so caregivers should pay attention to actively provide anti-itching care for the children. Be careful not to set the room temperature too high, do not cover your child with too thick a blanket, and do not let your child wear too many thick clothes. Once your child sweats, it will cause more severe itching and rashes will easily occur. It is best to wipe your child's body with a soft towel dipped in warm water, which can not only keep the skin clean but also relieve itching for the child.
