How to treat chickenpox in children?
Chickenpox is a common contagious disease during children's growth. The chickenpox virus usually accompanies a rash and is also associated with high fever that persists and recurs. In such cases, parents should treat mild symptoms at home with symptomatic treatment, including oral antiviral drugs and fever-reducing medication. During the chickenpox, it is important to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as fish, shrimp, eggs, beef, lamb, and specific fruits like mangoes and durian, which are considered to be "heaty." A light diet and plenty of water are recommended. If the chickenpox is severe with extensive vesicles and persistent high fever, hospital visitation is necessary, where IV fluid treatment may be administered if needed. (The use of medication should be under the guidance of a doctor.)
