Homeopathic Remedies and Treatment for Chickenpox
Varicella (Chickenpox) Herpes Zoster (Shingles)
Chicken pox is a viral disorder for which there is confusion in public whether to use Homeopathy or Allopathy for Chicken pox. Homeopathic remedies for chicken pox are best preventive.In this articles we will discuss Homeopathic treatment for chicken pox.
Essentials of Diagnosis
Exposure 14–21 days before onset.
Fever and malaise just before or with eruption.
Rash: pruritic, centrifugal, papular, changing to vesicular ("dewdrops on a rose petal"), pustular, and finally crusting.
General Considerations
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is HHV-3. Disease manifestations include chickenpox (varicella) and shingles (herpes zoster). Chickenpox is generally a disease of the childhood. It has an incubation period of 10–20 days (average 2 weeks) and is highly contagious, spreading by inhalation of infective droplets or contact with lesions.
The incidence and severity of herpes zoster ("shingles") increases with age due to an age-related decline in immunity against VZV. More than half of all patients in whom herpes zoster develops are older than 60 years. The annual incidence of herpes zoster in the United States is at least 1 million cases, which is expected to increase as the mean population age increases.
Clinical Findings
Varicella
Symptoms and signs
Fever and malaise are mild in children and more marked in adults. The pruritic rash begins prominently on the face, scalp, and trunk, and later involves the extremities. Maculopapules change in a few hours to vesicles that become pustular and eventually form crusts . New lesions may erupt for 1–5 days, so that different stages of the eruption are usually present simultaneously. The crusts slough in 7–14 days. The vesicles and pustules are superficial and elliptical, with slightly serrated borders. Pitted scars are frequent sequelae.
The disease evolves in several stages (2 or 3), healing spontaneously after a week.
The interest in this children's disease lies in its viral similarity with herpes zoster (shingles). During a chickenpox epidemic, the older population with depressed immune systems will get this severe neurological disease. (shingles).
