Question
Does a baby with chicken pox always need to have a fever?
Answer
Chickenpox is a self-limiting disease that usually heals on its own. During the illness, it’s important to keep the skin clean, avoid scratching, and use Acyclovir ointment for external application. Oral preparations like Platycodon root decoction can be taken as well. If fever symptoms occur, symptomatic treatment can be applied. At the same time, parents should pay attention to their child’s dietary balance and help them develop good hygiene habits.
