Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious disease caused by the initial infection with varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The disease results in a characteristic skin rash that forms small, itchy blisters, which eventually scab over. It usually starts on the chest, back, and face. It then spreads to the rest of the body. Other symptoms may include fever, tiredness, and headaches. Chickenpox is an airborne disease that spreads easily from one person to the next through the coughs and sneezes of an infected person. People usually only get chickenpox once. Siddha Spirituality of Swami Hardas Life System brings out the best treatments and natural home remedies for effectively curing chickenpox.
Chickenpox Meaning
Chickenpox Symptoms
The early symptoms in adolescents and adults are:
- Nausea,
- Loss of appetite,
- Aching muscles,
- Headache,
- Oral sores,
- Malaise, and
- A low-grade fever signal the presence of the disease.
Symptoms in children
In children, the first sign is the rash or the spots in the oral cavity. The rash begins as small red dots on the face, scalp, torso, upper arms, and legs; progressing over 10–12 hours to small bumps, blisters, and pustules.
At the blister stage, intense itching is usually present. Blisters may also occur on the palms, soles, and genital area. Commonly, visible evidence of the disease develops in the oral cavity and tonsil areas in the form of small ulcers which can be painful or itchy, or both. This enanthem (internal rash) can precede the exanthem (external rash) by 1 to 3 days. These symptoms of chickenpox appear 10 to 21 days after exposure to a contagious person. Adults may have a more widespread rash and longer fever, and they are more likely to experience complications, such as varicella pneumonia.
Pregnancy and neonates
During pregnancy, the dangers to the fetus associated with a primary VZV infection are greater in the first six months. In the third trimester, the mother is more likely to have severe symptoms.
For pregnant women, antibodies produced as a result of immunization or previous infection are transferred via the placenta to the fetus. Varicella infection in pregnancy could lead to spread via the placenta and infection of the fetus. If infection occurs during the first 28 weeks of gestation, this can lead to fetal varicella syndrome.
Effects on the fetus
Effects on the fetus can range in severity from underdeveloped toes and fingers to severe anal and bladder malformation. Possible problems include:
- Damage to the brain: encephalitis, microcephaly, hydrocephaly, aplasia of brain
- Damage to the eye: optic stalk, optic cup, and lens vesicles, microphthalmia, cataracts, chorioretinitis, optic atrophy
- Other neurological disorders: damage to the cervical and lumbosacral spinal cord, motor/sensory deficits, absent deep tendon reflexes, anisocoria/Horner’s syndrome
- Damage to the body: hypoplasia of upper/lower extremities, anal and bladder sphincter dysfunction
- Skin disorders: (cicatricial) skin lesions, hypopigmentation
Maternal infection is associated with premature delivery. The risk of the baby developing the disease is greatest following exposure to infection in the period 7 days before delivery and up to 8 days following the birth.
Complications associated with Chickenpox
Though chickenpox is very routine, however in a few cases it may happen that the virus may spread to other sites or a superimposed bacterial infection takes place. The complications associated with chickenpox are as follows:
- Dehydration
- Pneumonia
- Bacterial infections of the skin, soft tissues, and bones
- Inflammation of the brain
- Toxic shock syndrome
- Reye’s syndrome: This is why one must NEVER give the patient aspirin during this illness as it can trigger the syndrome.
- Ramsay Hunt syndrome
- Bell’s palsy
- Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN)
Chickenpox Diagnosis
The diagnosis of chickenpox is primarily based on the signs and symptoms, with typical early symptoms followed by a characteristic rash. Confirmation of the diagnosis is by examination of the fluid within the vesicles of the rash, or by testing blood for evidence of an acute immunologic response.
Chickenpox Prevention
Hygiene measures for Chickenpox
The spread of chickenpox can be prevented by isolating affected individuals. Contagion is by exposure to respiratory droplets, or direct contact with lesions, within a period lasting from three days before the onset of the rash, to four days after the onset of the rash.
Chickenpox Vaccine
A live attenuated varicella vaccine, the Oka strain, was developed by Michiaki Takahashi and his colleagues in Japan in the early 1970s. In 1981, Merck & Co. licensed the “Oka” strain of the varicella virus in the United States, and Maurice Hilleman’s team at Merck invented a varicella vaccine in the same year.
Chickenpox Treatment
Treatment mainly consists of easing the symptoms. Cutting the nails short or wearing gloves may prevent scratching and minimize the risk of secondary infections.
Although there have been no formal clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness of the topical application of calamine lotion, it has an excellent safety profile. It is important to maintain good hygiene and daily cleaning of skin with warm water to avoid secondary bacterial infection. Scratching may also increase the risk of secondary infection.
Treatment for Children
If aciclovir by mouth is started within 24 hours of rash onset, it decreases symptoms by one day but has no effect on complication rates. The use of aciclovir, therefore, is not currently recommended for individuals with normal immune function.
Children younger than 12 years old and older than one month are not meant to receive antiviral drugs unless they have another medical condition that puts them at risk of developing complications.
Treatment of chickenpox in children is aimed at symptoms while the immune system deals with the virus.
Treatment for Adults
Infection in otherwise healthy adults tends to be more severe. Treatment with antiviral drugs is generally advised, as long as it is started within 24–48 hours from rash onset.
Remedies to ease the symptoms of chickenpox in adults are basically the same as those used for children.
Natural home remedies for Chickenpox
Herbal tea
Make an herbal tea by steeping Tulsi, chamomile, and calendula in hot water. When the water has cooled to drinking temperature, add a twist of lemon and a teaspoon of honey. Drink twice or thrice a day for quick recovery from chickenpox.
Oatmeal
Add oatmeal to the patient’s bathwater to calm inflammation and soothe the skin to make for a superb chickenpox treatment for itching.
Sandalwood
Applying sandalwood paste to the breakouts can help cool the skin.
