There is no special treatment for chickenpox, only parents are required to pay attention to isolation. At the beginning of chickenpox, you can drink mung bean soup. Be light and easy to digest during fever, drink more warm water and pay attention to rest. You should also keep your skin clean and hygienic. When the skin itches, you can apply some antipruritic liquid medicine. Nails should be cut short in time to avoid scratching herpes infection. If herpes has broken, you can apply 1% purple liquid. In addition, the disease can be complicated with encephalitis and pneumonia. So once you find complications, you should go to the hospital immediately to avoid delaying your illness.

Chinese medicine treatment methods:

Modern medicine has no specific medicine for viral diseases, so the treatment of chickenpox is mainly to prevent secondary infection and strengthen nursing. Stay in bed during fever, eat digestible food, and ensure the supply of nutrition and water; Those with higher body temperature can reduce fever, those with itchy skin can take antihistamine orally, or use calamine lotion externally to relieve itching, and 2% gentian violet can be applied after blisters break, all of which are symptomatic treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease is caused by exogenous pathogenic factors, lung and spleen injury, damp heat and skin. Treatment is mainly based on expelling wind and clearing heat, detoxifying and eliminating dampness, which can be divided into the following two types according to the severity of illness:

(1) Wind-heat with dampness syndrome is mild, characterized by fever, cough, runny nose, ruddy chickenpox, sparse distribution, clear water, itching, anorexia, constipation, thin and white tongue coating and floating pulse. Treatment should be based on expelling wind and relieving exterior syndrome, clearing heat and eliminating dampness. The prescription is Yinqiao Powder.

(2) Damp-heat syndrome is a severe disease, which is more common in children with weak constitution. Severe fever, manifested as excessive heat, polydipsia, red lips and face, listlessness, dense purple pimple rash, opaque pimple pulp, and even herpes in the mouth, accompanied by dry mouth and thirst, dry stool, short and red urine, yellow and thick tongue coating, and slippery pulse. This is the evil in healthy qi, and the evil of dampness and heat is committed internally. Treatment should strengthen the power of clearing heat, cooling blood and detoxifying. Choose improved sterilized drinks.

According to the specific situation of patients, appropriate western medicine can be selected for symptomatic treatment, such as reducing fever and relieving itching. The rest of Chinese and western medicine have the same requirements in nursing, diet, disinfection and isolation.
