High fever; treatment history from 3 days ago and...Doctor's answer:
Alright, in your situation, it's highly likely to be chickenpox. However, it's best to consult with a clinical diagnosis doctor for a specific diagnosis.Medical Advice: The incubation period for chickenpox is approximately 14 days. It typically starts with sudden onset, mild to moderate fever, followed by the appearance of rashes. The rashes first appear on the scalp and areas under pressure on the body, arranged in a centrifugal pattern. Over a six-day rash period, the rashes appear successively. The skin lesions progress through a series of stages: from small red macules to papules, then vesicles, and finally crusts, without leaving scars after crusting.
During the vesicular stage, itching is pronounced. If scratching leads to secondary infection, mild scars may remain. There is no specific treatment for this disease; the main approach is symptomatic relief and prevention of secondary skin infections. Keep the skin clean to prevent itching.
When blisters rupture or secondary infection occurs, a 1% gentian violet solution can be applied locally. For intact blisters, calamine lotion can be used. Early administration of antiviral drugs can be helpful. Daily intramuscular injection of vitamin B12 also has some therapeutic effects. If secondary infection occurs, effective antitoxins can be used. Chickenpox should not be treated with hormones to avoid viral dissemination.
