Neither my husband nor I had chickenpox. Now we are afraid that if the child gets chickenpox, then the three of us will fall down with this disease. Tell me, has anyone had chickenpox as an adult? Have you and your child been sick together? How is it going?

No one in the family was sick. After Instagram, a friend’s daughter was drafted into the army and there he met her with the whole company. In the photo it looked funny - in camouflage, bald heads in brilliant green. He wrote that it was extremely unpleasant, there were sores in both the mouth and the penis.

I had chickenpox as an adult. I was 33 years old at that time. And first I got sick, and then a couple of weeks later my daughter, she was 3 years old. I had a very hard time, the temperature stayed under 40 for 4 days, there were acne all over my body, there was no living space. I looked like Shrek - all green. Baths with potassium permanganate also helped me. I drew a bath, poured potassium permanganate into it, it turned out to be a pretty cool solution and lay in it for half an hour, exactly, every day. This saved me from “combing” the blisters. As a result, I was sick for 3 weeks. But there were no marks left on my body or face. My daughter’s illness was generally mild; she had no fever or blisters. Maybe a total of 3-4 pieces and that’s it.

I wasn’t sick and neither was my mother. There was an epidemic at school in the 10th grade. My best friend got sick. Moreover, the day before she discovered that I was infected, I was at her house, where her sick sister was. My mother used to work in a kindergarten. By the way, my friend is like that and so is her son.

Author, I’ll tell you as a doctor - chickenpox is very difficult for adults to tolerate. With very big complications. There were even deaths. Therefore, if a child gets sick, run away from him. Masks won't save you.

She said that was the only thing that helped.

I got sick at 18, was covered in blisters, elements of the rash were on the mucous membrane of the stomach and in the mouth. There was no itching. I was sick with a very high fever and really thought I was going to die. As a result, there were no scars left on the skin and I did not die from chickenpox.

I got sick as an adult - I got infected from my friends’ children in the apartment, but I didn’t even see them (we were in another room, there was a quarantine in their class).

The prescribed pills are very heavy, they disrupt the functioning of the liver and kidneys - read all the instructions! I didn’t know about potassium permanganate, but I had to endure the quarantine and went to work for my salary, when one girl, after talking with me for 3 minutes, also fell down and also had chickenpox. I thought it was all over, three weeks have passed. but no. Her husband was shocked and called me asking for recipes. in general, it is unpleasantly painful and also causes complications for the reproductive system of girls in adulthood. boost your immunity! and health to you

I was sick when I was 25, it was just when I got sick)) it’s okay, it was itching for 1.5 days, I took acyclovir, pills. The temperature was low for several days, once it was only 38, and then 37.5. The only thing was that it was disgusting to look at the pimples ((there are about 3 scars left, even though I tore off all the scabs))

Well, if you fall, it’s a big disaster, you’ll get over the disease and you’ll have immunity! Of course, adults usually suffer from chickenpox more severely than children - but you are not afraid of the flu, and chickenpox can be compared to it in severity. The main thing is that during pregnancy you should not wander around crowds; you will have to sit at home for 9 months and walk in not very crowded places. Chickenpox is dangerous for the embryo. And that's it, nothing more terrible. In general, I heard that there is a vaccination against chickenpox, find out at the clinic whether you can get it or not, and explain it - before planning children, I would like to prevent the danger of this.

If I were you, I would run to get vaccinated. Adults are much more susceptible to chickenpox than children.

I got sick at 33. I was a nursing mother, so I didn’t take acyclovir. Calamine helps relieve itching (honey, it’s an infection!). The children tolerated it easily, I had it relatively easily, but my friend’s son (3 years old) had a fever for a long time and was covered in blisters. I advise everyone who is not sick to get vaccinated. There is no guarantee that it will be easy for you. I wanted it myself, but before pregnancy there was no vaccine in Moscow.

Adults have a hard time with it, really. My husband’s friend got sick at the age of 42. He says it was a hell of a thing. He had huge blisters, everything was oozing, he couldn’t really coat himself, because he lives alone. And the temperatures are high

Author get vaccinated, what can be discussed here.

My husband was sick at the age of 25 and got the infection from his son. My son was easy, but my husband ended up in the hospital with a temperature of over 40 and delirium for 2 weeks!

Nobody got sick here either: neither my parents, nor me, nor my husband, nor my child. We hope not to just get sick. This is not at all necessary. My grandmother, now deceased, did not have chickenpox either.

but you are not afraid of the flu, and chicken pox can be compared to it in severity.

I got chickenpox the other day (I’m 25) and I really regret that I didn’t get around to getting vaccinated. I have a very hard time with it, ulcers in my ears, mouth, throat, an infection in my eye, it’s all red. The temperature is 39 degrees, everything itches - just quiet horror. I’ve already got more than 500 pimples :( I’m whining all day long, my poor husband consoles me and smears calamine on all this abomination. Therefore, it’s better to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Hard to bear. My friend was on a drip.

My husband and I decided that we would simply vaccinate both our child and ourselves against this scourge. We went to the vaccination office, got vaccinated and now we live peacefully.

My husband and I were both sick as children, and our eldest daughter also got sick at the age of five. But I have already vaccinated my younger children. At first I doubted it, but the doctor convinced me. Nowadays, few people get sick; there are no epidemics in kindergartens since almost all children are vaccinated (we live in Europe) and the chances of getting sick in childhood are very low. But in adulthood this is a dangerous sore. I don’t want to risk my children, I have nothing against vaccinations, or rather even for them, so in any case, my children are protected. Author, think about vaccinations, they are worth it.

The vaccinated nephew got sick anyway, they also did it abroad

Nobody got sick here either: neither my parents, nor me, nor my husband, nor my child. We hope not to just get sick. This is not at all necessary. My grandmother, now deceased, did not have chickenpox either.

This vaccination is still quite new - all the side effects have not been studied - this is the second thing - the vaccination will not give a hundred percent result, and the vaccinated person can easily get sick. Therefore, there is little hope for her either. If your immunity is good, then you may not get infected, but you can’t guess, nowadays there is so much stress that immunity needs to be specifically addressed so that it is high. My children recently had chickenpox. That’s good. with a fever and a bunch of rashes - I can exhale - this infection is no longer scary for us. And by the way, from my own experience I can advise everyone to use Pox Clean gel for chickenpox, it relieves itching perfectly. Yes, and it heals well.

I got sick when I was 20; there was nothing at all except these blisters. The chronology is approximately this: blisters came out, at first I mistook them for teenagers and smeared them with alcohol and ichthyol, within 2 days it got worse, I went to the dermatologist, she started yelling that it was a contagious disease, chickenpox, and why am I infecting people.

Yes, our doctors know how to calm you down ((If you have chickenpox, I advise you not to smear it with brilliant green, especially if you get sick at an older age, but buy PoxClean and treat the wounds with it. It’s better and removes the itching

I had chickenpox as a child, but when my children got sick. For some reason I got blisters along with them. out of solidarity, apparently)) Our dad bought us PoxClean instead of brilliant green, I remember how beautiful green I wore as a child long after everything had passed. And it’s such a beauty here. colorless, relieves itching perfectly, heals super. But I was sick without fever at all

Hello, my 5-year-old son has had chickenpox for 3 days. My 2nd son is 3 years old, can he get infected? My husband was not sick as a child; he can also become infected. .. I burned out as a child

It is believed that it is best to get over some diseases in childhood, since at this age they are much easier to tolerate. A classic example is chicken pox (colloquially “chickenpox”). This infectious disease is very insidious, since its first signs begin to appear only 2-3 weeks after infection. The infection is transmitted by airborne droplets, so the methods of infection can be very different: you can catch the virus even by entering a room where a sick person has been, or simply by walking past him.

Short answer:

Mostly children get chickenpox. In childhood, the disease is much easier to tolerate. If an adult gets chickenpox, it can be extremely dangerous, because in adults, chickenpox is very difficult to tolerate and causes serious complications. Mostly children get chickenpox. In childhood, the disease is much easier to tolerate. If an adult gets chickenpox, it can be extremely dangerous, because in adulthood chickenpox is very difficult to tolerate and causes serious complications.

Characteristic signs

The main symptoms of the disease: - a sharp rise in temperature (up to 39-40 degrees C); - Strong headache; - aches throughout the body; - rash on the skin and mucous membranes; - severe itching; - significant increase in the size of lymph nodes.

When adults become ill, they often experience severe nausea, accompanied by bouts of vomiting that do not bring relief. Due to the fact that viruses affect the central and peripheral nervous system, fear of light and sound, impaired coordination of movements and convulsions may occur.

The initial stage is characterized by the appearance of one or more pink spots, quickly transforming into pustules (vesicles filled with pus). Within 24 hours, the rash spreads to the entire body, then repeated rashes are observed, which can last up to 10 days. The formation of pustules is accompanied by painful sensations and severe itching. When drying, the pustules are drawn inward and form a crust.

The older the person who first gets chickenpox, the more severe the disease and the higher the likelihood of complications. Some experts attribute this to the fact that an adult’s immunity is much stronger than that of a child: in the event of infection, the body reacts so actively to pathogens that it causes severe harm to itself.

How is the causative agent of chickenpox transmitted?

The chickenpox virus causes the development of an acute infection in children, which is accompanied by intoxication and fever.

The pathogen is transmitted exclusively by airborne droplets. It belongs to the family of herpetic viruses, has a special spherical shape, and quickly dies in the environment.

Varicella-Zoster enters the human body through the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, and bronchi. The virus penetrates epithelial tissue and causes a rash.

Don't take risks - contact a specialist!

Having discovered signs of the disease, they call a doctor at home - you cannot go to the clinic, as you can infect other people. The quarantine is continued until all the crusts on the pustules have dried. Treatment of the disease depends on the severity: in relatively mild cases, the patient is prescribed antipyretics and antihistamines that relieve itching: diazolin, tavegil, suprastin. Antiviral drugs are used in the form of ointments, tablets and injections, and immunoglobulin. In severe forms, an additional course of antibiotics is prescribed.

All (!) pustules must be treated with brilliant green or fucorcin. Water procedures should be canceled until the pustules dry out. Hands and nails must be clean; for this you can use some kind of antiseptic, for example, chlorhexidine. Scratching the affected areas is strictly prohibited! This leads to further spread of the infection, which can provoke various kinds of complications. In addition, damaged pustules leave deep round scars that do not disappear over time. It is highly advisable to observe bed rest and ideal cleanliness of linen and clothing. It is recommended to drink as much fluid as possible and switch to a dairy diet. After each meal, rinse your mouth thoroughly but gently. The disease lasts from 1 to 3 weeks.

Consequences of the disease

In some cases, chickenpox leads to serious health problems. Otitis, sepsis, hemiparesis, local skin atrophy, kidney and liver diseases are only a small part of what a person who has recovered from the disease may encounter. The nervous system also experiences enormous stress, the consequences of which are very dire: paralysis, the formation of a brain cyst, meningitis, skeletal muscle paresis. The cardiovascular system, muscles and joints are affected (myositis, arthritis), the respiratory organs are affected (laryngitis, tracheitis).

A pregnant woman who gets chickenpox should immediately consult a doctor - only in this case the risk of infecting the child is minimized. In a critical situation, the expectant mother is given a special serum with antibodies that destroys viruses.

After an illness, a person develops lifelong immunity, but cases of re-infection still occur. This occurs if the body was unable to produce sufficiently persistent antibodies and the inactive virus remained in the nerve ganglia. With an exacerbation of a chronic disease, severe stress, hypothermia, or any infection, it becomes active again, sometimes in the form of herpes zoster. Treatment is the same as in the case of the disease for the first time.

People who are undergoing chemotherapy, have had an internal organ transplant, or are on hormonal treatment are at risk of getting chickenpox a second time. With severe suppression of the immune system, repeated infections are possible.

Despite the serious danger to health, with a competent, professional approach and compliance with all the doctor’s instructions, this disease can be successfully treated in many cases. For prevention, regular vaccination is recommended for adults (every 5 years), although some experts believe that this method is not effective enough.

How many days does it take for a person to become non-infectious?

The latest rashes on a person’s skin indicate a decrease in the aggressiveness of the infection, but this cannot be called a complete recovery. Moreover, humans also pose a risk of infection during this period of time.


Why does a child not become infected with chickenpox after contact with a sick person?

How many days after chickenpox is a person contagious? For 5-6 days, after the appearance of the last foci of chickenpox exanthema, the person continues to be contagious. After the period of time indicated above, an individual who has had chickenpox is no longer dangerous and can fully communicate with other people.
