How does Chinese medicine treat chickenpox?

Modern medicine has no specific medicine for viral diseases, so the treatment of chickenpox mainly focuses on preventing secondary infections and strengthening nursing care. During the fever period, you should rest in bed and eat easily digestible food to ensure the supply of nutrients and water; those with high body temperature can be given antipyretics, and those with severe skin itching can take oral antihistamines or topical calamine lotion to relieve itching. After the blisters burst, apply 2% gentian violet, etc., which are all symptomatic treatments. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is caused by exogenous pathogenic factors, which damage the lungs and spleen, produce dampness and heat, and occur on the skin. Treatment is mainly based on dispersing wind, clearing away heat, detoxifying and removing dampness. According to the severity of the condition, it can be divided into the following two types: (1) Wind-heat syndrome with dampness is mild, with fever, cough, runny nose, red chickenpox, sparse distribution, and internal bleeding. The aqueous liquid is clear and bright, accompanied by itching, poor appetite, loose stools, thin white tongue coating, and floating pulse. Treatment should be to dispel wind and relieve the symptoms, clear away heat and remove dampness. Fang chooses Yinqiao Powder to add or subtract. (2) Damp-heat syndrome is a serious syndrome and is more common in children with weak constitution. Severe fever, characterized by strong heat and polydipsia, red lips and face, sluggishness, dense acne rashes, dark purple color, turbid and opaque acne pulp, and even herpes in the mouth, accompanied by dry mouth and desire to drink, dry stools, and short urination Red, yellow, thick and dry tongue coating, rapid or slippery pulse. This is when the evil is strong and strong, and the evil of dampness, heat and poison is invaded internally. Treatment should increase the power of clearing away heat, cooling blood and detoxifying.
