Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. By the way, is it necessary for a child to have a fever when they get chickenpox?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Chickenpox is a self-limiting disease that can heal on its own. For children with chickenpox, it is important not to scratch with their hands, as this can easily lead to infection and leave scars. They should take a warm bath every day, and an acyclovir ointment can be applied externally to the affected areas. Steroid creams should not be used. Oral preparations like Banlangen can also be taken to clear heat and detoxify. If fever occurs, symptomatic treatment should be administered. There are many triggers for respiratory systems in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
