Can I still use a fan or air conditioner after having chickenpox?

Many parents will pay more attention to their baby's skin allergies in the spring, because most children's skin allergies may mean chickenpox on the skin. Once infected with chickenpox, it will spread throughout the body, and the patient's clothes and bedding must be disinfected and washed repeatedly to ensure that there will be no repeated infection and transmission to other people. During the chickenpox period, you must also take good care of your child and try not to use wind, including fans or tap air, because this will cause a cold.

Chickenpox symptoms in children

1. Children are extremely susceptible to the varicella virus, which mostly occurs in children aged 1 to 10 years old, with an incubation period of 2 to 3 weeks. Once infected, children will develop symptoms such as head fever, loss of appetite, and general weakness that night, especially children with poor physical conditions.

2. When a child gets chickenpox, it's just some small red spots. After a few hours, they will slowly develop into blisters the size of green beans, and there will be severe itching. It should be noted that parents must prevent their children from scratching the blisters, as this can easily lead to infection with other bacteria and cause other chickenpox complications.

3. When a child gets chickenpox, a series of symptoms first appear on the trunk, and then gradually spread to the head, face and limbs. But in general, these symptoms of chickenpox are mainly distributed on the trunk, and the symptoms on the face and limbs are often less than those on the trunk.

In addition, the mouth, eyes, pharynx, vulva, etc. may also experience symptoms of chickenpox infection, and there will be severe pain.
