If a child falls ill with chickenpox, then rashes on the skin are often accompanied by a sensation of itching. To ease the condition of the baby it would be possible, having bathed it in the bathroom.
In this case, parents are concerned with the question, when you can bathe a child, if diagnosed as "chickenpox"? Or should I refrain from water procedures?
Is it possible to bathe a child with chickenpox?
Veterinary pox is an infectious disease that requires more careful hygiene and treatment . If the child has a rash on the body and the temperature is normal, then it is allowed to swim from the first day of the disease. If the child is very small, then it should be a bath with chamomile, celandine or oak bark.
The older child is rinsed under the shower.
When can I bathe my baby after chickenpox?
It is not recommended to wash the baby in the first four to five days, as often the onset of the disease is accompanied by fever. And the rashes themselves are still fresh enough. And water during bathing can promote the appearance of a secondary infection. But as soon as there are crusts (usually this occurs on the fifth day), you can bathe the baby in water with the addition of a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
If from the very beginning of the rash the child does not have a temperature, then you can rinse your child under the shower without using a detergent (foams, gels, shampoos). However, the jet should be soft, because an excessively strong water pressure can damage the skin, so that small scars may remain in the place of rashes in the future.
After water procedures, the child's skin is lubricated with greenery.
Water treatments and air baths after them help relieve the itching. Because chicken pox is a long enough disease, the lack of an opportunity to swim for the entire duration of the disease will promote the reproduction of bacteria that can cause a secondary infection. Yes, and the child himself will be uncomfortable for 10-14 days to walk dirty and unwashed. Therefore, doctors recommend not to stop bathing with chickenpox in children, and do this with the use of herbs and very carefully, without rubbing the skin to avoid her injury.
