Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease, so once you have chickenpox, you should first know that it is a contagious disease and that you need to be isolated at home, not to go to school or kindergarten with the disease, and adults should not go to work. The family members should also be well protected during home isolation, especially pregnant women, who need to be strictly protected. Patients with chickenpox should wear masks, long clothes and pants when they go out, and gauze should be used to cover the herpes if it ruptures so as not to spread it to others. For children with normal immunity, chickenpox can heal on its own and usually does not require medication. If the herpes is broken, the skin needs to be disinfected with iodophor to prevent bacterial infection, and children with chicken pox should be told not to scratch the herpes as much as possible. Adults with chickenpox tend to be more seriously ill and are prone to complications of pneumonia and encephalitis, so it is recommended that adults with chickenpox be treated with acyclovir antiviral therapy as soon as possible to reduce the risk of complications. Pregnant women with chickenpox are at high risk of complications from pneumonia, and chickenpox in early pregnancy may also affect the fetus, so they need to seek professional medical advice to assess the risk and develop treatment measures. If the skin breaks down and becomes red, swollen and painful, it may be a secondary bacterial infection, which needs to be treated with antibiotic creams such as mupirocin and other anti-infectives in time; if there is severe coughing and difficulty in breathing, it may be a complication of pneumonia, which needs to be treated by a doctor in time.
