What to do if the chicken pox is getting worse

Chickenpox more and more can be improved by general treatment, medication and other ways. 1. General treatment: chickenpox is a self-limiting disease, clinically based on symptomatic treatment. Patients should keep the local skin clean and avoid scratching with hands, otherwise it may cause infection. 2. Drug treatment: chickenpox is caused by viral infection, anti-viral drugs can be given, such as acyclovir and other drugs. If the itching is heavy, patients can take oral antihistamines, such as loratadine, cetirizine, etc., to stop the itching effect. If the blisters break due to scratching, antibiotic ointment should be applied to prevent infection, such as mupirocin ointment and erythromycin ointment. Since chickenpox is contagious to others, it is recommended that chickenpox patients be isolated at home during the illness. Rest and avoid overwork during the period. The specific medication should be prescribed by the doctor.
