Understanding Chickenpox and Its Symptoms

Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious viral infection. It presents with an itchy rash, fever, fatigue, and loss of appetite. The rash begins as red spots and progresses to blister-like lesions that spread across the body.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to reduce complications, especially in adults, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals.

How Is Chickenpox Treated?

Treatment primarily focuses on alleviating symptoms and reducing virus severity. Antiviral medications, such as acyclovir, are most effective when administered early in the course of illness.

Supportive care includes antihistamines for itching, acetaminophen for fever, and keeping skin clean to prevent secondary infections.

Consulting a healthcare provider ensures appropriate treatment tailored to individual health status.
