Can I take a bath with the water beans?

Chickenpox is a relatively common and highly contagious skin disease that often occurs in young children. Experts say that when children have chickenpox, it is best to stay at home and not go out, so as to avoid the condition becoming worse after being exposed to the wind. It is also best not to take a bath, otherwise it is very easy to cause systemic infection. In addition, pay attention to diet and do not eat spicy and irritating foods.

1. Avoid blowing hair or bathing your baby when he or she has chickenpox

Experts say it's best for children to stay at home when they have chickenpox. Open the windows in the room as much as possible to let in sunlight, because sunlight can kill the virus, but do not allow wind to blow. However, do not let the wind blow towards the child, as it will make the child susceptible to colds and aggravate the condition of chickenpox. As for leeward, it is not very important and generally not a big problem.

You should not take a bath during the chickenpox period as it may easily induce infection. Mothers can wipe the baby's whole body with wet water to keep the skin clean. Be careful when wiping so as not to break the chickenpox. In addition, be sure to cut your baby's nails short to avoid scratching the rash and causing infection. If the itching is severe, you can apply oven-dried stone lotion to relieve the itching, or take drugs such as chlorpheniramine; if the herpes breaks, you can apply gentian violet, and if there is an infection, you can apply some anti-inflammatory ointment topically, and take berberine or sulfonamides if necessary; avoid using ointments such as prednisone and cortisone to avoid systemic chickenpox.

2. What should I do if I have chickenpox?

1. Be sure to see a doctor.

Because chickenpox is generally caused by a viral infection, you need to drink some Chinese medicine that clears away heat and detoxifies to regulate and detoxify, otherwise it may cause viral pneumonia or viral encephalitis in severe cases.

2. Pay attention to your diet.

You cannot eat spicy food, such as leek, pepper, garlic, mustard, ginger, onion, cinnamon, pepper, mushrooms, etc.; you cannot eat fat food, such as crucian carp, coriander, seafood, eel, chicken, etc.; you cannot eat greasy food, such as fried dough sticks, fried food, fat, lard, fried chicken wings, fried steak, etc.; you cannot eat hot food, such as lamb, dog meat, venison, eggs, goose meat, hairtail, lychee, etc.; in addition, some things containing melanin, such as soy sauce, bean paste, etc. cannot be eaten.

Try to eat a light diet during the acne period. It is best to eat porridge and vegetables. Wait until you recover before eating other foods. Be sure to avoid certain foods.

3. Never scratch chickenpox.

When you have chickenpox, you will have an uncomfortable itchy feeling, but you cannot scratch it, otherwise it will leave scars in the future; also, in the later stage when the chickenpox scabs, there is also an itchy feeling, and if you are not careful, you will scratch it, which will cause the scabs to fall off and form scars. You can use some topical medications and apply them around the itchy area to reduce inflammation and relieve itching.
