Patient's question:
Some of my friends have infectious diseases, I'm afraid of getting infected, but I'm too embarrassed to ask others. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up, but I'm also afraid. I wonder if I can play outside after having chickenpox for four days?Doctor's answer:
You cannot go out when you have chickenpox for four days. Generally, you need to wait until the chickenpox heals and the scabs fall off before you can go out. Chickenpox treatment usually takes about 7-10 days to relieve symptoms. Chickenpox is a viral disease and is contagious, so isolation and antiviral treatment are necessary. Children should pay attention to skin hygiene and avoid spicy foods and foods that trigger outbreaks. It is best for children to maintain a light diet. Parents are advised to pay close attention to their children's personal hygiene and not let them scratch, to avoid spreading the infection.
