White coating on the tongue, rashes, high fever accompanied by scarlet fever and stomatitis. The chickenpox on this list stands alone. Diagnosis will help to put red dots on the whole body of the baby. You can not joke with each of these diseases. Thoughtful therapy by the doctor in your attentive performance will certainly put the child on its feet. Not the last medicine on the list - my mother's tenderness and good mood.
Scarlet fever
The causative agent of the disease in children is hemolytic streptococcus group A. It is transmitted through dirty hands, dishes, airborne droplets. Scarlet fever begins with fever. My throat becomes inflamed. A few hours later there is a bright red small rash that spreads throughout the body (as in rubella, measles).
• The pediatrician will prescribe a course of antibacterial therapy, designed for 10 days. Procedures (penicillin intramuscularly) will be carried out in a hospital. If the little one does not tolerate injections, they will be replaced with erythromycin in syrup or tablets.
• Do wet cleaning daily, change linen.
• The child needs vitamins to strengthen immunity.
Stomatitis
You recognize the disease on the whitish spots that appear on the mucosa of the mouth, tongue, lips. They give the baby unpleasant sensations. He is capricious, loses his appetite. Stomatitis can be of various types.
FUNGAL
It causes the fungus Candida albicans. The sign of infection is a dense whitish coating in the mouth. Another symptom of the disease is fever.
• First of all, remove the heat with paracetamol or ibuprofen.
• 5-6 times a day, wipe the baby's mouth with a solution of drinking soda (1 tablespoon per cup of boiled water). The older child can rinse the mouth itself.
• Offer more fluids. Best of all - a decoction of chamomile.
HERPESTIC
This form of the disease is caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is transmitted very easily by airborne droplets. A couple of days after infection, the baby has white vesicles on the oral mucosa and tongue. Salivation increases.
• Show the child to the dentist. He will recommend drugs that cope with the infection.
• Feed crumbs with vegetable purees, soups. Food should be warm (by no means hot). We recommend an abundant drink: unsweetened kissels, weak tea, herbal decoctions.
AFTHOSIS
The cause of stomatitis - streptococci or staphylococcus, causing inflammation of the gums and mucous membranes of the mouth. The kid refuses to eat, his temperature rises. Reduce it with suppositories with paracetamol.
• 4-5 times a day, wipe the mouth with a tampon moistened with methylene blue solution.
• The doctor prescribes antibiotics.
Chickenpox
This is the most common cause of rashes from all diseases in children. Most often, chickenpox affects children between the ages of 6 months to 7 years. On the skin appears a rash in the form of vesicles. If you found pink spots on the body of the crumbs, bubbles, immediately put him to bed. First of all, protect the child from communicating with those who did not suffer from chickenpox, and call a doctor. The virus of chickenpox gets into the human body by airborne droplets. Symptoms of the disease are visible only on the 10-21 day. The kid is not feeling well. He has a high fever, a headache, no appetite. During the following days, characteristic skin changes occur. There are spots of pink cyst on the scalp, eyebrows, body, which turn into transparent vesicles.
COURSE OF THE DISEASE
Sometimes on the skin of a child you can see everything at once: both stains, and bubbles, and dried crusts. Rashes are always more on the back and stomach than on the legs and pens. They itch and bother the baby, and because of the rash on the mucous membrane of the mouth and genitals, the child, in addition to itching, can feel pain. Take care that he does not comb anything, otherwise you can bring an infection. The crusts will soon fall off and will not leave any scars.
THERAPY WITHOUT ERRORS
A district pediatrician will monitor the patient until he is fully recovered. And you try to follow all the recommendations. A chickenpox sometimes proceeds easy, with a small amount of specks, and sometimes - painfully and long. Try to save the baby from unpleasant sensations.
• Provide a small bed rest. From the moment of the appearance of spots and to the formation of crusts, crumbs should preferably be in their own bed. Carry out daily inspections! Follow the dynamics of the disease: where did new vesicles form, how do the old ones heal? Carefully treat them with a green, blue or strong solution of potassium permanganate.
CARE FEATURES
Unlike all other types of rashes with various diseases in children, with chickenpox, while the disease progresses, the child feels itchy. Do not let me comb the bubbles. Try to constantly borrow it: draw, read, invent fairy tales. And also protect the crumb from complications and undesirable consequences.
• Check if there are bubbles on the eye mucosa, gently pulling the eyelid. If they have appeared, urgently address to the doctor.
• After each meal, rinse the baby's mouth with boiled water or a solution of furacilin.
• Antiallergic medicine will relieve severe itching. At high temperature, give antipyretics. Particular attention was paid to hygiene. Bathe your baby every day. Add the antiseptic (manganese, chamomile broth, turns) to the water. Do not wipe the skin, but only gently and gently soak, without damaging the bubbles. Every day, change your underwear and restructure the bed, do a wet cleaning.
PREVENTION
In many countries, a chickenpox vaccine has already been registered. It will create immunity to infection in the body of the child. You will get a consultation from the district doctor or in the vaccination centers. The stronger the body's defense, the more difficult it is to gain infection. Cool water, fresh air, active movements and a vitamin menu - that's what makes the immunity of a child invulnerable.
