Chickenpox

Chickenpox is a viral infection disease.The varicella-zoster virus is the cause of chickenpox. Varicella-Zoster Virus is also known as the chickenpox virus. It is a highly contagious illness, which means it can spread from one person to another. It primarily affects children but can also affect adults. It is often a mild, self-limiting illness, but in infants or people with weakened immune systems, it can cause serious health problems. Symptoms of chickenpox are typical: extremely itchy rashes, flu, loss of appetite, headache, and chills. Home remedies and at-home care choices can help to reduce the discomfort and itching of chickenpox, even though the symptoms progress at their own pace. Once the chickenpox rash appears, it goes through three phases. Raised red bumps known as papules, which stay over for several days. The second phase is small, fluid-filled blisters, which form in about one day and then break and leak pus. The third phase is about crusts and scabs, which cover the broken blisters and take several more days to heal. These rashes and symptoms of chickenpox last for 10–15 days and gradually heal themselves.
