Homeopathy treatment for Chicken pox
Chickenpox is an infectious disease causing a mild fever and a rash of itchy inflamed pimples which turn to blisters and then lose scabs. It is caused by the herpes zoster virus and mainly affects children.
OVERVIEW
Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It can cause an itchy, blister-like rash. The rash first appears on the chest, back, and face, and then spreads over the entire body, causing between 250 and 500 itchy blisters.
Chickenpox can be serious, especially in babies, adolescents, adults, pregnant women, and people with bodies that have a lowered ability to fight germs and sickness. The best way to prevent chickenpox is to get the chickenpox vaccine.
Chickenpox used to be very common in the United States. In the early 1990s, an average of 4 million people got chickenpox, 10,500 to 13,000 were hospitalized, and 100 to 150 died each year.
Chickenpox vaccine became available in the United States in 1995. Each year, more than 3.5 million cases of chickenpox, 9,000 hospitalizations, and 100 deaths are prevented by chickenpox vaccination in the United States.
CAUSES
-
Chickenpox infection is caused by the varicella-zoster virus.
- It can spread through direct contact with the rash.
- It can also spread when a person with the chickenpox coughs or sneezes and you inhale the air droplets.
TYPES OF CHICKEN POX
The 3 stages of chicken pox usually refer to the way the rash looks
1.stage one is red and pumpy rash.
2.stage 2 is the fluid-filled blistered rashes.
3.stage 3 is when the blister break and scab oevr.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
-
Stage of Invasion or Prodromata
- Not constant headache, sore throat also fever for 24 hours.
- Prodromal rashes – Erythematous, scarlatiniform, morbilliform or urticarial. Additionally, Rarely hemorrhagic.
-
Stage of Eruption
Enanthem – Earliest lesions on buccal and pharyngeal mucosa.
Exanthem –
- Evolution – in crops; at first back, then chest, abdomen, face, and lastly limbs.
- Character – At first macule, in few hours’ dark pink papule which soon turns into vesicle –
(i) Firstly, superficial, i.e. ‘on’ rather than ‘in’ the skin (glass pox),
(ii) Secondly, elliptical or oval (“tear drop” vesicles) with axis parallel to ribs,
(iii) Lastly, unilocular, hence collapse if pierced with a needle. Additionally, Vesicles turn into pustules in 24 hours. Scabs in 2 to 5 days.
- Distribution – centripetal, i.e. more on upper arms and thighs and upper part of face, and in concavities and flexures. Less commonly lesions on genital mucous membranes, conjunctivae and cornea.
- Cropping – Rash matures very quickly and most spots dry up within 48 hours of appearance. But for 2-3 days’ new spots continue to appear so that on any area of the body vesicles, pustules and scabs are found side by side (in other words, Polymorphism). In immunocompromised patients both children and adults, particularly those with leukaemia have lesions (often with a hemorrhagic base) that are more numerous and take longer to heal than those of immunocompetent patients.
Other symptoms –
- Pruritus of varying degree.
- Generalized lymphadenopathy may occur and enlargement of sub occipital and posterior cervical lymph nodes from secondarily infected scalp lesions.
- Varicella hemorrhagica – Hemorrhages into vesicles, skin, subconjunctiva or from intestines. The complication is not due to overwhelming toxaemia as in smallpox but due to thrombocytopenia
- Varicella bullosa – Few or many of the lesions become bullous; common in children with impetigo.
- Varicella gangrenous – due to infection with hemolytic streptococcus producing the fulminating type, or with diphtheria bacillus causing the subacute type. Necrosis of lesions with toxaemia.
- Congenital and Neonatal chickenpox – Virus may pass through the placenta and the baby is born with chickenpox or develops it in neonatal period.
WHAT TO EAT
When you have chickenpox, it’s important to eat foods that are easy on your digestive system, boost your immune function, and prevent irritation to the skin or mouth blisters. Opt for soft, bland foods like oatmeal, mashed potatoes, and plain rice. Smoothies, yogurt, and puddings are great for soothing your throat and preventing discomfort when swallowing. Avoid spicy, acidic, or salty foods, as they can irritate the blisters. Stay hydrated with water, herbal teas, and clear broths. Foods rich in vitamins A and C, such as carrots, spinach, and citrus fruits, help support the immune system. Include lean proteins like chicken or fish to promote healing. Avoid sugary or processed foods as they can worsen inflammation.
