What should I do if my child has chickenpox? How to avoid infection?

Question 1: My girl is over two years old and has had chickenpox since yesterday. How many days will it take for the chickenpox to be cured? I also have a baby who is over six months old at home. Will he be infected? How to prevent the baby from being infected? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: Babies may be infected. Chickenpox will heal in about a week, but they need to be quarantined for half a month. If the little baby has been in close contact with the big baby before, he may still be infected even if he is separated now. If the baby has not been infected before, the mother should not be infected with chickenpox after taking care of the baby, taking a bath, changing clothes, and then taking care of the baby. There is nothing special about caring for chickenpox. As long as there are no other complications, it will have little impact on the child. Chickenpox is itchy, so be careful not to scratch it, and just pay attention to environmental and personal hygiene. Question 2: My daughter is 5 years old. She doesn’t eat well. She is very thin, but her height is okay. I like to eat fruits, but don’t like vegetables very much. I drink a lot of water. The stool is thick and hard. Sometimes I need to use Kaisel. What should I do? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: Try to give your children as much fiber-rich foods as possible. For fruits, you can eat prunes, dragon fruit, pears, avocados, apricots, plums, grapes, citrus, etc.; for vegetables: peas, soybeans, etc. Broccoli, celery, eggplant, spinach, etc.; cereal staple foods: whole wheat oatmeal, whole wheat bread, whole wheat noodles and other foods rich in wheat bran can help children defecate. Avoid eating too delicately in your daily diet. In addition, you can take Xiaoer Fupi Granules and lactulose oral liquid for conditioning. Take the lactulose oral liquid for one week, and then stop eating if the stool becomes normal. Take the children\’s Fupi granules for 2 to 4 weeks. The most important thing is to adjust the diet structure, otherwise constipation will still occur after stopping the medication. Question 3: I am a mother. I have body pain, back pain, and a little anemia since giving birth to two children. What should I do? Dr. Zhang Yanyan answered: Anemia makes people feel tired and weak. With two children, the mother probably doesn’t have much time to rest, so she often feels tired. It is recommended that you exercise properly and correct anemia. If you have lower back pain, you can take a X-ray to see if there are any lower back problems such as lumbar disc herniation. Pay attention to your daily diet and eat some blood-enhancing foods such as pork liver, spinach, and red dates. You can also take some pills for strengthening the spleen and promoting blood.
