A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was conducted on the effectiveness and safety of Anaferon for children in the treatment of chickenpox in children. 136 children aged 1 to 18 years with characteristic clinical manifestations of chickenpox from 1-2 days of illness (from the appearance of the rash) until recovery (up to 10 days) received Anaferon for children; the placebo group consisted of 100 children. Taking Anaferon for children reduced the duration of fever by an average of 2.7 days, shortened the time for the appearance of new rashes by 3.3 days, and skin itching by 4.2 days. During therapy with Anaferon for children, a greater number of cases of abortive (atypical) course of chickenpox were noted. The use of the drug reduced the risk of developing pustules by 6.5 times and the need for additional antibacterial therapy by 9.1 times. Anaferon for children was well tolerated by patients and was combined with symptomatic therapy. Key words: chicken pox, children, viral infections, Anaferon for children

The investigators have made a dual placebo-controlled randomized clinical study on the effectiveness and safety of application of infantine Anaferon in treating children/infants suffering from chickenpox. One hundred and thirty six infants, children and youngsters aged one to eighteen, who exhibited characteristic manifestations of chickenpox, were administered infantine Anaferon from the 1st or 2nd day they were taken ill (appearance of rash) till recovery (up to ten days). One hundred patients made up the placebo group. Administered infantine Anaferon reduced the ailment duration on the average by 2.7 days, the term of appearance of new eruptions by 3.3 days and itch by 4.2 days. Administration of infantine Anaferon has revealed a greater number of instances of abortive (atypical) progress of chickenpox. The administered preparation diminished the risk of development of pustules 6.5 times and demand for additional antibacterial treatment 9.1 times. Infantine Anaferon was adequately tolerated by the patients and went well together with symptomatic therapy. Key words: chickenpox, children/infants, viral infections, infantine Anaferon

According to the Federal Center for State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance, the incidence of chickenpox in children in 2004 was 459 per 100 thousand, and the mortality rate from chickenpox was 100 thousand cases [1]. The issue of effective and safe specific etiotropic therapy for chickenpox in children still remains unresolved. There are a number of chemotherapy drugs for the treatment of viral diseases that can have a direct antiviral effect (rimantadine, acyclovir, Zovirax, arbidol, etc.). However, these drugs are not sufficiently effective in the treatment of chickenpox, cause a variety of side effects (gastrointestinal, pulmonary, hematological, etc.), and do not reduce the risk of complications [2].

It is well known that the leading role in the body’s antiviral defense against infections belongs to the interferon (IFN) system—cytokines that have universal antiviral properties [3].

In recent years, there has been an active search for new drugs that act on the interferon system, which, along with an antiviral effect, have immunomodulatory activity.

The spectrum of antiviral activity of interferon drugs and interferon inducers is wide: influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections, herpetic infections, AIDS, mumps, cytomegalovirus infection, hepatitis, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, infectious mononucleosis, etc. [4]

A representative of this group of drugs is Anaferon for children, containing ultra-low doses of antibodies to γ-interferon - a mixture of homeopathic dilutions C12, C30 and C50. According to previously obtained results [5], ultra-low doses of antibodies have a modifying effect in relation to the antigen (in this case, interferon γ), they regulate and enhance its activity.

In an experimental study of the antiviral activity of Anaferon for children, it was shown that Anaferon for children has an antiviral effect when administered prophylactically and therapeutically in conditions of experimental infections - influenza and herpes, stimulates the humoral and cellular immune response, increases the phagocytic activity of neutrophils, macrophages and the spontaneous production of endogenous interferon gamma by lymphocytes , increases the functional activity of T-helpers. In vitro, Anaferon for children increases the functional activity of T-, B-lymphocytes and NK-cells [6-8].

Preclinical toxicological studies of Anaferon for children, including the study of acute and chronic toxicity, allergenic properties, cytogenetic effects, reproductive toxicity (including embryotoxic and teratogenic effects), did not reveal the presence of any of the above types of toxicity in the drug [9]. Moreover, Anaferon for children had a moderate antimutagenic effect.

Clinical studies of the effectiveness and safety of Anaferon for children against influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections in children were conducted at the Influenza Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (St. Petersburg), the Russian State Medical University (Moscow), and the Volgograd State Medical University [10-15]. In the group of children receiving Anaferon for children, a significant reduction in the severity and duration of the main clinical manifestations of viral infections, as well as complications, a reduction in the duration of intoxication, fever and rhinitis and the length of stay of children in the hospital was registered. A positive effect of Anaferon for children on interferon status was revealed: the use of the drug contributed to a pronounced induction of endogenous interferons on days 2-3 of treatment and prevented a decrease in the production of interferon by lymphocytes at the stage of convalescence. There was a restoration of normal levels of lymphocytes of various subpopulations in the peripheral blood (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD20+, CD16+), a decrease in the level of IgE and an increase in IgA.

Pilot studies of the effectiveness of Anaferon for children in the treatment of infectious mononucleosis [16] (IM) were conducted at the Siberian State Medical University (Tomsk) and the Ural State Medical Academy (Ekaterinburg). The average duration of fever and sore throat (the most typical complication) was 2.4 and 4.3 days in the Anaferon for children group, and 2.2 and 2.8 days in the group receiving combination therapy (Anaferon for children + acyclovir) and was significantly shortest .

A pilot open comparative study of the effectiveness of Anaferon in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in children was conducted at the Bashkir State Medical University (Ufa) [17]. The use of Anaferon for children reduced the duration of the febrile period by an average of 3.3 days; reduce the incidence of hemorrhagic syndrome (nosebleeds) by 3 times compared to the placebo group, and the incidence of renal syndrome by 5 times. Complete relief of clinical and laboratory manifestations of HFRS in the AF group occurred, on average, in 11.5 days, which was 3.7 days earlier than the comparison group.

Taking into account the convincing data obtained on the effectiveness of the use of Anaferon for children as a treatment for viral infections in children, including herpesvirus infections, it seemed promising to conduct a clinical study of the effectiveness and safety of Anaferon for children in the treatment of chickenpox.

Materials and research methods

A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study was conducted with a treatment duration of up to 10 days.

Using a random sampling method, 2 groups of patients were formed: the first group (136 people) took Anaferon for children (RU No. 000372/dated 04/05/2001, LLC NPF Materia Medica Holding), the second (100 people) took a placebo drug.

Treatment regimen: in the first 2 hours - every 30 minutes; then during the first day 3 more times at equal intervals; from day 2 onwards - 3 times a day until recovery. The drug was prescribed in combination with local symptomatic therapy (shading of the rash elements with a 1% alcohol solution of brilliant green or an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate; rinsing the mouth with an aqueous solution of furacillin). The use of immunomodulators and antiviral agents was not allowed; antipyretics were prescribed according to indications and, if indicated, antibacterial therapy was prescribed.

The timing of normalization of body temperature was assessed daily; maximum number of rashes; the date of appearance of the last new rashes; term for cessation of itching, need for antibacterial therapy. A summary assessment of the severity of the disease was also carried out, and the frequency and severity of complications were calculated. The severity of the condition was assessed according to the classification proposed by V.F. Uchaikin [20].

Safety was assessed by the timing and nature of adverse events, association with the study drug, and the need for additional treatment to relieve adverse events.

Mean values ​​and error of the mean were calculated. The average duration of symptoms of the disease was compared with the placebo group (Student's t test for independent samples). Proportions of patients were compared using the Chi-square test.

Results and its discussion

At inclusion in the study, both groups were homogeneous in terms of demographics and severity of the condition.

The Anaferon children's group included 136 children, including 71 (52.2%) boys, 65 (47.8%) girls. At the first visit, in 62 (87.3%) boys the disease was assessed as a mild form, and in 9 (12.7%) - moderate severity. In 49 (75.4%) girls, the disease was mild at the beginning, in 14 (21.5%) it was moderate, and in 2 (3.1%) it was severe (Table 1).

Table 1. Clinical and demographic characteristics of patients in the Anaferon group for children, n = 136

The placebo group included 61 (61%) boys and 39 (39%) girls. The form of severity on days 1-2 of the disease was mild in 48 (78.6%) boys, and moderate in 13 (21.3%) boys. The initial severity level was mild in 26 (66.7%) girls, moderate in 11 (28.2%) and severe in 2 (5.1%) (Table 2).

Table 2. Clinical and demographic characteristics of patients in the placebo group, n = 100

Tables 3 and 4 provide summary data on the assessment of the severity and severity of fever in children of the study groups at the onset of the disease.

Table 3. Characteristics of disease severity in the compared groups

Table 4. Initial severity of fever in the compared groups

Thus, the groups of children participating in the study were homogeneous in gender, age and severity.

Dynamics of body temperature and intoxication syndrome. In both compared groups, the majority of patients had a febrile condition: 95.6% in the Anaferon children’s group and 84% in the placebo group (Table 4); the time frame for normalization of body temperature differed significantly between them. Thus, in the main group, in 133 (97.8%) patients, normalization of body temperature was noted during the first three days, while in the control group, in 80 (80%) patients, normalization of body temperature was noted on days 4-6. Only 4 (4%) patients in the placebo group had body temperature normalized by day 3 of observation (Table 5). Moreover, the average duration of fever in the Anaferon children’s group was 2.5 + 0.1 days, which is reliable (p Table 5. Time frame for normalization of body temperature in patients of the study groups (days from the start of treatment)

Figure 1. Dynamics of fever in the studied patients with chickenpox

It should be emphasized that Anaferon for children was effective regardless of the initial severity of the condition. Thus, out of 111 patients in the Anaferon group for children with an initially mild form of the disease, in 105 (94.5%) patients the body temperature returned to normal on days 2–3 of the disease. In the placebo group of 74 patients with an initially mild form of the disease, body temperature returned to normal on days 4–6 in 67 (90.5%) people, and only in 4 (5.4%) on days 3.

In all 23 patients of the Anaferon children's group with an initial moderate form of chickenpox, the body temperature returned to normal on days 2-3 (100%), while in 24 patients with a moderate form of the placebo group, the temperature returned to normal no earlier than 5 days (12.5% ​​- 3 person), and in the remaining majority of patients with a moderate form from the placebo group (75% -18 people), the temperature returned to normal on days 6-7 of the disease.

The duration of the intoxication syndrome is given in table. 6. The duration of all symptoms (malaise, disturbance of sleep rhythm, appetite, irritability, dullness of heart sounds) was significant (p Table 6. Duration of intoxication syndrome in the study groups (days)

Maximum number of rashes. In both groups, the number of rashes in the majority of patients was: 81 patients (59.6%) in the main group, 73 (73%) in the placebo group. It is noteworthy that during the entire observation period in the Anaferon children's group, the proportion of patients with the number of rashes less than 50 was significantly higher - in 25 (18.4%) versus 1 (1%), and with the number of rashes more than 200 - significantly lower 30 (22.8%) versus 33 (39%) in the placebo group (Table 7).

Table 7. Characteristics of the severity of rashes in the study groups

The influence of therapy on the dynamics and nature of rashes. In Fig. Figure 2 shows the dynamics of skin manifestations in the Anaferon for children and placebo groups, corresponding to the dynamics of fever.

Figure 2. Dynamics of body temperature and skin manifestations in children with chickenpox during treatment with Anaferon for children (n = 136) and in the placebo group

The effect of therapy with Anaferon for children on the timing of extinction and the characteristics of the course of skin rashes is illustrated in Tables 8 and 9. It is noteworthy that in 80 (58.8%) patients who received Anaferon, the maximum “addition” of new elements occurred on the 2nd day, and in the control group group in 68 (68%) patients, the same symptom persists on day 6. Differences in the nature of the chickenpox rash elements are also noticeable: in patients receiving Anaferon for children, the number of patients with the “spot” element was 26 (19%), which is significant (p Table 8. Timing of the appearance of new rashes in the study groups

Table 9. Assessment of the nature of skin manifestations of chickenpox in the studied groups of patients

The majority of patients in both groups had vesicular-type rashes: 111 (81%) in the main group and 99 (99%) in the control group, but the dynamics in the main group were faster (2.8 ± 0.55 days), than in the control group (5.8 ± 0.9 days), p Figure 3. Characteristics and duration of skin rashes (in days)

The typical form of chickenpox is characterized by vesicular-type rashes on the skin and mucous membranes with or without an umbilical depression in the center, but with the obligatory presence of subsequent stages: drying out, crusting, falling off of the crust. Atypical chickenpox is characterized by skin rashes in the form of "resi", spots, papules and papules without the formation of a crust and its falling off. During treatment with Anaferon for children, a decrease in the number of cases of typical chickenpox was recorded to 77.2% compared to the control group (98%). Accordingly, during treatment with Anaferon, the number of atypical cases was registered in 22.8% of children, in the control group - in 2%. The differences in the dynamics of atypical elements of chickenpox rash are illustrated in Fig. 4. It can be seen that the dynamics of atypical elements was slowed down in the placebo group compared to the main one.

Figure 4. Characteristics and duration of skin rashes (in days)

Skin itching. The dynamics of skin itching are presented in Table. 10. It can be seen that in the main group the cessation of itching was observed in 135 (99.3%) patients during the first 3 days, while in 36 (26.5%) patients itching did not develop at all. At the same time, in the control group, cessation of itching was noted in 89 (89%) patients on days 5–7, and it was absent in only 1 (1%) patient. The duration of the skin miracle in the main group was 1.51 ± 0.09 days, which is significantly less (p Table 10. Time for cessation of itching in the study groups

Formation of pustules and the need for antibacterial therapy. It is interesting that in the group of patients who received Anaferon for children, there was a significantly less pronounced tendency to form pustules. The latter were observed in 19 (14%) patients of the main group, while in the control group the formation of pustules was registered in 96 (96%) patients (p The above is confirmed by a decrease in the need for antibacterial therapy in the Anaferon children's group. In the main group, antibiotics were prescribed in 3 (2.2%) people, and in the placebo group - in 22 (22%) people (p Conclusion

The inclusion of Anaferon in the complex treatment of chickenpox on days 1-2 of the disease significantly reduces the duration and severity of the disease, promotes more rapid elimination of nonspecific manifestations of the infectious process (fever and intoxication), as well as a more rapid (in some cases abortive) course of skin manifestations and risk reduction bacterial complications.

The use of Anaferon for children according to the treatment regimen significantly reduced the duration of the main clinical manifestations of chickenpox in children aged 1 to 17 years compared to the placebo group. Taking the drug reduced the duration of fever by 2.7 days, shortened the time of appearance of new rashes by 3.3 days, and skin itching by 4.2 days. During therapy with Anaferon for children, a greater number of cases of abortive (atypical) course of chickenpox were noted. The use of the drug also reduced the risk of developing pustules by 6.5 times and the need for additional antibacterial therapy by 9.1 times. Anaferon for children was well tolerated by patients and was combined with symptomatic therapy. There were no adverse reactions or subjective complaints associated with taking the drug, and no allergic reactions were registered.

The data obtained allow us to consider Anaferon for children as an effective and safe means of specific treatment of chickenpox in children from 1 to 17 years of age.

Cycloferon, Anaferon, Kagocel, Viferon for chickenpox in children

In the fight against chickenpox, not only brilliant green is used. Antiviral drugs for chickenpox in children are prescribed to ease the course of the disease and reduce the number of rashes. As a rule, these are tablets and suppositories (Viferon, Cycloferon, Kagocel, etc.).

Medicines for chickenpox in children

Antiviral drugs for chickenpox in children from the following list are considered the most effective:

  • Kipferon is a dosage form that can relieve the symptoms of chickenpox. The drug is approved for use from 2 years of age. The drug is prescribed mainly in cases where the disease is severe. Kipferon has no contraindications, but it is not cheap.
  • Zovirax. Approved for use from 2 years. You can buy it in the form of ointment or drops. Analogues - Groprinasin or cheaper Novirin.
  • Isoprinosine is not only an antiviral drug, but also an immunostimulant. Effective for both adults and children.
  • Cycloferon is a medicine that increases the production of interferon. Thanks to the composition of the drug, the body's resistance to chickenpox will increase. Cycloferon should be taken for chickenpox in children over 4 years of age. It is usually prescribed in tablet form.
  • Kagocel is prescribed for chickenpox in children over 6 years of age. The strong antiviral effect of this drug is explained by its ability to stimulate the production of late interferon. Kagocel is prescribed orally in tablet form.
  • Ergoferon - despite the fact that it has an antiviral and antihistamine effect, it is prescribed to children very rarely. It is usually used in cases where various allergic reactions are involved.
  • Anaferon (Anaferon) is a homeopathic medicine. Such tablets are prescribed for chickenpox in children as an adjuvant against the background of general therapy for the disease. Reduces the risk of complications and speeds up the recovery process. Anaferon for chickenpox in children is an effective pill that speeds up the healing process.
  • Acyclovir is an antiviral drug based on interferon. It contains proteins similar to substances secreted by the body to eliminate the virus. Children under 3 years of age should not take the drug.

Viferon

This modern and easy-to-use drug contains interferon, which performs a number of important functions:

  • stimulates the body's immunity, causing active protection against viruses. Thanks to this, the healing process occurs faster;
  • has an antiviral effect;
  • reduces the inflammatory process, resulting in reduced itching;

You can buy an antiviral drug at any pharmacy in the form of suppositories or ointments. The candle is suitable for use when it comes to small children. The active ingredients of instant suppositories seep through the mucous membrane and literally immediately begin to act. This is their main advantage. The treatment regimen and dosage are determined solely by the doctor.

Viferon in the form of an ointment is applied to the affected areas and has an effect specifically on the rash that appears on the child’s body. It is allowed to use no more than 4 times per day. The product can be used either alone or in combination with other medications, both antiviral and antipruritic.

Arbidol

The effect for chickenpox in children is the same as the previous drug: it increases one’s own immunity, improves the general condition of the body, and relieves itching. After taking Arbidol, which is antiviral in nature, the patient begins to feel much better.

You can buy syrup for babies - this form is the most convenient. Older children can take it in tablet form. You do not need a doctor's prescription to purchase, which is very convenient. For treatment, you need to use exactly the medication that is appropriate for your age (calculated by weight). Arbidol is allowed to be given to children only after they are 2 years old. The price of the product is lower than its analog Viferon.

Miramistin

The medicine has a wide range of effects. Can be used at any age, from the moment the child is one month old. The main advantage of the solution is that it can be applied to mucous membranes. If we talk about a disease such as chickenpox, then Miramistin can be used to reduce itching, remove the red color of the inflamed area and speed up the healing process of the rash. The itching goes away completely, but not for long. The solution can be used an unlimited number of times per day, the main thing is that it is always at hand.

The bottle has a convenient dispenser - a sprayer, thanks to which it will be possible to spray the composition economically and purposefully. The cost does not exceed 500 rubles. The capacity is large, the product lasts a long time.

Miramistin is also available in the form of an ointment. This dosage form can be used only three times a day. The composition is used as an additional drug.

Calamine

Can be purchased as a cream or lotion. This product is based on natural ingredients. For external use only. The drug is aimed at relieving itching, swelling, eliminating redness and inflammatory foci. It disinfects and protects watery formations from mechanical stress that can be caused by clothing. Accelerates the healing of pockmarks. The composition is not capable of causing allergies. There are no age restrictions, can be used even at the age of 1 year. Patients praise calamine, which means that it is quite effective. The positive effects and safety of the product have been proven in official circles.

Despite the fact that there is a lot of information about the treatment of chickenpox with antiviral drugs, children should not self-medicate. As soon as the first signs of illness appear, it is necessary to call a doctor so that he can assess the child’s condition and clarify the diagnosis. Only after this will it be possible to navigate the treatment and choose the necessary actions.

Antiviral drugs for chickenpox in children

Chickenpox in children cannot be treated only by smearing the rash with brilliant green. Antiviral drugs for chickenpox in children are prescribed by a doctor to reduce the number of rashes and ease the course of the disease.

Chickenpox in a child: symptoms and first signs

Chickenpox in children begins with a high temperature. It is sharply understood up to degrees. The incubation period from the moment of infection to the appearance of the first symptoms lasts two to three weeks. In this case, the child becomes a carrier and can infect other children only a few days before the first rash.

  • The child complains of a headache, diarrhea or nausea are possible.
  • Then a rash appears: small red spots.
  • In a matter of hours, bubbles filled with liquid appear on these spots.
  • The rash is accompanied by unbearable itching.
  • After a day or two, the blisters break through and leave ulcers.
  • The sores become covered with a crust, which dries out and falls off.
  • This is already a period of recovery.

With chickenpox, the temperature lasts for about 3 days when the first rash begins. The temperature may appear again during the second period of rash. Antiviral drugs for chickenpox in children may be needed if the high fever does not stop in the first days, but continues throughout the entire period of the illness. Seven days after the last skin rash, the child ceases to be infectious to others. Also, a pediatrician can prescribe antibiotics for chickenpox if a bacterial infection joins a viral one.

Antiviral drugs for chickenpox in children

In very young children, chickenpox can be alleviated with the help of Viferon suppositories, which do not have allergic manifestations and obvious side effects. Viferon is also available in gel form. In gel form, it helps the rash heal quickly.

Zovirax can be used as an antiviral drug for chickenpox in children over 2 years of age. This drug is available in the form of chickenpox ointment and drops. It can also be replaced with Graprinazine or its cheap analogue Novirin.

The main antiviral drug for chickenpox in children is Acyclovir. This drug is an interferon-based antiviral. It contains proteins similar to those that the body secretes when fighting viruses. Please note that Acyclovir is contraindicated in children under 3 years of age and in this situation should be used only as prescribed by a doctor.

Anaferon has proven itself well in the treatment of chickenpox in children. It greatly reduces the incidence of complications and speeds up the child’s recovery.

For chickenpox in children over 4 years of age, the antiviral drug Cycloferon can be used. It affects the vital processes of cells so that they cease to be susceptible to the virus.

For children over 6 years old, you can use the drug Kagocel. As an interferon product, it has a strong antiviral effect. Six-year-old children can already swallow this tablet without chewing, since the manufacturer indicates oral administration in the instructions for use.

Ergoferon for chickenpox in children is not very widely used, although it has both antiviral and antihistamine effects. It is more often used for various allergic reactions.

Komarovsky about chickenpox in children

Dr. Komarovsky in the video talks about the use of antiviral drugs for chickenpox in children. Is brilliant green the best remedy for chickenpox or are there other remedies?

Any medications for chickenpox in children should be prescribed by the attending physician. He will select the optimal set of medications, taking into account the child’s age and condition. Have you used antiviral drugs for chickenpox in children? Share your feedback on the forum.

Chickenpox medications for children

The infection that causes chickenpox is difficult to control. There is currently no specific therapy for this disease, so the purpose of prescribing medications is to provide maximum symptomatic relief, in particular, to reduce the discomfort caused by the rash.

Treatment of chickenpox in a child, especially a small one, cannot be limited to applying brilliant green to the rash. Weakened children are prescribed antiviral drugs, which alleviate the course of the disease and reduce the number of rashes. Antipyretics are necessary when the high temperature persists not only in the first few days of illness, but throughout the entire period of the rash. Antibiotics for chickenpox in children are prescribed only in case of complications, that is, if a bacterial infection is added to a viral infection.

Zinc ointment for chickenpox in children

This is an effective and absolutely safe drug. Its indispensability for chickenpox is explained by its broad pharmacological action. He is capable;

  • relieve itching;
  • dry and disinfect the skin;
  • give an antiviral effect.

Fucarcin ointment for chickenpox in children

This remedy has the same properties as Fukortsin, a long-used drug that perfectly eliminates the inflammatory process and prevents the development of secondary infections. What makes it irreplaceable is its ability to quickly dry opened bubbles.

Fucarcin ointment can be combined during treatment with any antimicrobial agents. It is suitable for children over 3 years old.

Fenistil for chickenpox in children

This drug belongs to a number of antihistamines, has a local and systemic effect, affects pathological processes provoked by the activity of the pathogen. It comes in various dosage forms, meaning you can give it to your child orally or apply it to the skin.

Fenistil drops for chickenpox in children are prescribed if the itching is not too pronounced. They have a fairly pleasant taste and can be added to water and milk. Possible side effects include a slight increase in body temperature and dry mouth. Fenistil in gel form is effective for severe itching. It is applied in a thin layer to the affected areas.

Calamine lotion for chickenpox in children

This product relieves itching, soothes irritated skin, and has a cooling effect. By accelerating the regeneration of the skin, it prevents the penetration of bacterial infections.

This chickenpox medicine for children consists of naturally occurring ingredients: zinc oxide, glycerin, medicinal clay, sodium citrate, liquefied phenol and water. It contains no alcohol or hormones.

Other remedies for chickenpox in children

There is currently no specific treatment for the chickenpox virus. Antiviral drugs for chickenpox in children are usually needed only when the disease is severe. Acyclovir is most often used to treat chickenpox in adults, but if necessary, it can also be prescribed to a child.

This drug inhibits the synthesis of DNA of the virus, as a result of which it cannot reproduce freely. At the same time, the acute period of the disease is significantly reduced.

Anaferon has also proven itself well for chickenpox in children. It speeds up recovery and reduces the incidence of complications. Ergoferon for chickenpox in children is not very widely used, although it has both antiviral and antihistamine effects. It is more often used for various allergic reactions.

Cycloferon for chickenpox in children affects the vital processes of the cell so that it ceases to be susceptible to the virus. This drug is a product based on the active substance methylglucamine acridone acetate, which stimulates the production of protective molecules.

When treating chickenpox, a drug for external use is used - cycloferon liniment. Penetrating the skin, it stimulates the production of interferons. It contains an antiseptic that prevents the occurrence of secondary bacterial infection.

Viferon for chickenpox in children is used in the form of a gel. It promotes rapid healing of rashes and is suitable even for the youngest.

Antiviral tablets that can be used for chickenpox in children - Kagocel. This drug causes the formation of so-called late interferon in the body, which is a mixture of α-, β- and g-interferons, characterized by high antiviral activity. You can use Kagocel for chickenpox in children from the age of six.

Any medications for chickenpox in children should be prescribed by the attending physician. He will select the optimal set of medications, taking into account the child’s age and condition.

Chickenpox medications

When my children and husband once suffered from chickenpox, Anaferon was their salvation. The pediatrician prescribed this medication to us, saying that it speeds up recovery and alleviates symptoms. This is what happened, and the disease progressed in a milder form. I watched other children suffer and was glad that my son was feeling much better. He did not have a high fever, and he did not itch, so he behaved calmly. Anaferon for children then cost 54 UAH, which is significant for our family.

I'm afraid to upset you (or make you happy), but you can't get chickenpox twice. In the cases you described, the whole point was that the diagnosis was simply made incorrectly in all cases except one (when there really was chickenpox). This happens, and often, unfortunately.

It was just chickenpox, because... he became infected from his grandmother, who had shingles.

On the forum: Mon,·10·09·07

Did I understand correctly (I had chickenpox when I was 14 years old) that if my daughter gets chickenpox, I can get it and have shingles. I understand that it is not necessary, but it is possible. And how is op.lichen distinguished from chickenpox? I used to think that with op.lichen the rash is not all over the body.

That is, chickenpox is infected from someone, but the belt. Ringworm is caused by the activation of a dormant virus in the body. smallpox, which lives with us all our lives after suffering from chickenpox.

Sick belt. shingles can infect a child with chickenpox (or anyone who has not been sick).

These are two variants of the same disease (see above): chickenpox occurs at the first meeting with the virus, and op. lichen - as a result of its activation in the body itself (where it settles forever after undergoing V.O.).

With V.O. - rashes all over the body, incl. on the scalp, several days pass, each addition comes with a rise in temperature.

With OP. L. - rashes most often occur along one of the intercostal spaces, either on the right or on the left; characterized by very severe pain, burning, etc. itching It happens on the face, also on one side (above the eye, between the eye and mouth, or below the corner of the mouth).

Anaferon for chickenpox

What treatment besides brilliant green should be used for chickenpox

brilliant green, diazolin to prevent itching, or suprasin or something else, acyclovir in tablets 100 mg 3 times

Varicella (chickenpox) in children and adults

Not brilliant green, but a special Kalmosan lotion. And it relieves the itching and there will be no wounds and disinfection.

SOS. Chickenpox

Don’t go to the clinic if you’re too busy. You have the right to call at home. The doctor can wear a mask, not a porcelain one. besides, you will go to infect people before the New Year!

Acyclovir 3 times a day. In general, I should have been drinking it from the first day. And of course, brilliant green dries best. I didn’t notice much from Kalamine (

Who knows about chickenpox?

You have a mild form. Chickenpox is a disease that does not require treatment if it proceeds without complications. I tried calamine on myself, it’s an excellent remedy, I started applying it when there were no more rashes, it saved me from severe itching and dried it out faster. And it washes off quickly, but it took me a week to wash off the green stuff.

no, anaferon is garbage. if they prescribe it, it’s acyclovir, but this is in severe cases)

Chickenpox. Day five.

I also applied La-Cree cream. got off with a slight fright. There weren't many blisters. and gave me Zyrtec drops. so I didn't comb anything. get well

Chickenpox is such an infection, you just need to endure it and it will go away.

our appointment with the doctor. chickenpox. calamine

P.S. We drank homeopathy, I hope it somehow alleviated. In general, I get sick more easily than children, although everyone said that adults generally have hell

Some believe that they are just a panacea and there is no benefit from them.

In general, it is an artificial immunostimulant. This “kills” the immune system. That is, she does not learn to work and produce antibodies on her own. I wouldn't be interested in them. Otherwise, the immune system will completely atrophy.

And doctors prescribe them as the simplest solution. But then they won’t care what happens to the human immune system. ))

Little one has chickenpox(((

Nothing so terrible happens with chickenpox! - a long time ago - just don’t pick off the pimples, otherwise the scars will remain. There is no need to give any medications - this is how doctors make money - by prescribing antibiotics to everyone, which the child does not need! They get kickbacks for this!

Both have just passed. The rash appears for the first three days, then it becomes like water, there is water inside. There is still an itch. After three to five days they slowly begin to dry out.

and maybe a fever, and a cough.

We only have a cough now... we take acyclovir, diazolin at night and apply brilliant green

Girls, who had chickenpox during pregnancy? Respond!

I was sick during my third pregnancy! at 13 weeks! My son brought it home from kindergarten too, everyone got sick, even my husband! I had the easiest time of all, no fever, minimal rashes! There was no! I only itched for three nights... I didn’t do anything, I endured it. Thank God the baby is okay!

A friend was ill with chickenpox in the later stages. Everything is fine. True, immunity was not passed on to my son. He still got sick at 2-3 years old.

Fuflomycins and more (just in case, copied from the Internet, not mine)

When my face hurt and my nose stank of purulent snot, which was not removed through the nose, Polydex helped out, the pain actually went away in 3 days. And this green snot starts coming out.

diathesis

I remember when we had diathesis, the doctors almost put me on water and bread, but the child still had diathesis after diathesis, treatment and everything all over again. Not long ago I read an article http://www.medikforum.ru/news/health/healthy_child/42500-atopicheskiy-dermatit-skrytaya-opasnost-privychnyh-veschey.html and decided to try the Binatek products that were written about there. And what do you think, it turns out we were allergic to the household chemicals that I used. True, now I’m still afraid to eat everything I want, but I’m slowly introducing all foods into my diet and the child’s skin is clear. I already told the doctors about this so that they wouldn’t torture the mothers like they did to me.

Yes, I agree, it is necessary to exclude allergens from the child’s daily life as much as possible so that the diathesis does not develop into chronic dermatitis. Cleansing the body helped us a lot, we took Enterosgel as a course, and everything started to improve, and the rashes began to decrease, and the itching stopped. Then everything went away altogether. Apparently, allergens were present in the body, and until we cleared ourselves of them, nothing had a visible effect, so I recommend, girls, to first cleanse yourself with enterosorbent. I read information about him here http://enterosgel.info/

It seems like I’m trying to make sure that nothing unnecessary is included in the child’s diet (which is contraindicated for us), but sometimes the cheeks turn red. So I don’t wait until crusts form (advanced form), but I immediately start giving drops and enterosgel. We have already written about him above. So girls - this enterosorbent is colorless and odorless. This is also the only enterosorbent that can be taken for more than two weeks.

atopic dermatitis

We have this problem at 8 months. They applied creams like Elidel and Advantan, and locobase ripea. 4 months of treatment and all to no avail. They left a lot of money at the pharmacy. We went to visit our grandmother in the village to escape the heat in the summer and there, purely by chance, we met a very good pediatrician. This is what she advised us. Firstly, there is no need to rush with complementary feeding, until 6 months only breastfeeding (although compassionate relatives tried to stick in dry food, pickled cucumber or something else while my mother turned away and ate my baldness, that I was starving the child and not giving him anything) We I was on a diet with my daughter. Zucchini, broccoli, flowers cabbage, potatoes, onions, beef, turkey and rabbit (white currants, gooseberries, pears for me) and EVERYTHING. Even though we sprinkled it on the green apples. No sweets or sugar. Wash only with laundry or baby soap. We drank Normobakt El for a month. There were weeping wounds under the knees, they were smeared with Cicabio lotion, and dry scabs with atoderm po zink cream from Bioderma. The creams are expensive, but they are worth it, after 1.5 months the skin was like a peach. But now we are 1 year and 4 months old and we are still on breastfeeding and a diet. Now we add carrots to soups, and my mother was allowed to eat marshmallows (I cried with happiness when I ate it) In addition, my daughter eats cheese, children's cottage cheese Strong without additives, yogurt (I make it myself from Evitalia starter culture) Dairy-free porridge Babushkino Lukoshko or Humana.

I have had atopic dermatitis since childhood. Now I am 29 years old, and for the last 8 years there has been nothing but torment, no remission. Only sodium thiosulfate and calcium gluconate droppers help, and even then not for long, while they are being placed, there is immediate improvement as soon as they stop putting everything on again. But at least it helps when it’s no longer possible to endure.

For so many years, from personal experience, it has been deeply affirmed that pharmaceutical drugs only remove symptoms, and the real cause is in the body itself, some kind of problem and complex treatment from the inside is necessary.

I recently bought myself natural vitamins, not expecting any special results, since no matter how many times I took vitamins before, I never noticed any special results. Likewise, now for 2 weeks no results were noticeable, but at the end of the 3rd week I began to notice improvements every day, the skin on my hands seemed to become soft, moisturized from the inside, I even stopped using cream. Gradually, peeling and redness of the skin began to subside. I think this result is due to the high content of high-quality Omega-3 in the vitamins.

I will not write the name of the vitamins here, so as not to be mistaken for advertising.

Girls! I also have atopic dermatitis and even hormones don’t always help. But thank God remission is coming. And recently my baby got it, and she was scared, knowing what it was like from her own experience. They drank and smeared finistil, pah-pah-pah... Now I accidentally found a video fragment from Malysheva’s program and wanted to share it with everyone who is suffering from this infection. It’s also not a hormonal drug, and judging by the “before” and “after” photos of the children, it’s a real miracle. I haven’t bought it myself yet; I live abroad and there’s hardly any pharmacies here, but I’ll definitely buy it when I arrive. “Breakthrough in the treatment of atopic dermatitis” - https://youtu.be/RuMwxmzxjNc

In general, good health to everyone, especially children.

P.S. I'm not a bot or anything, I'm not spam, and I'm not selling anything. I am the mother of a child who survived dermatitis.

And also, girls, whoever tries it, please write an answer, did it help and for how long!

I found an article about atopic dermatitis. I found it super informative.

How to boost your child's immunity. Folk remedies.

In my family, until recently, only my mother (our baby’s grandmother) was sick. And my child was on breast milk until he was a year old and never got sick! So, girls, feed your babies for as long as possible (within reasonable limits, of course), and they definitely won’t get sick. And, here’s our grandmother, literally every 2-3 months she had a cold. They took everything, including various iron-containing medications, and went to the sea for almost a month, and my mother is not very old (she just turned 51). I literally scoured the entire Internet and came across an interesting article about how the telomerase activator ta-65 has begun to be sold in Russia. It is recommended to people over 40, the principle of action is that it prolongs the youth of the body from the inside, everyone who took it got sick less and felt better. Mom, after taking it for six months, never got sick at all, and says that she wakes up with a fresh head (and this despite the fact that we have a child in our house who screams very often at night).

Wow. I just wanted to tell you that my husband purchased the telomerase activator ta-65 for himself. But it turns out that this whole complex is being discussed here. He bought it on the recommendation of a friend. You know, before buying it, he read a lot of information on his topic, and he made me enlighten myself a little. Allow me, as they say, to add a few words, so this is what I understood. People lose their youth due to cellular degradation. Each of our cells contains 92 telomeres, which count down the time of aging. With each cell division, telomeres shorten until one telomere becomes so short that it causes disease or death of the cell. And, this complex is just capable of increasing telomeres. But it is important to understand that it is recommended for people over 40 years old. I can tell from my husband that his mood has clearly improved, and he now gets up in the morning without any problems. I will continue to look at how it affects the body.

Dear girls, read about the harm of immunomodulators... take pity on your children. In general, they cannot be given more than 2 times a year, otherwise the child’s immunity can be completely damaged. This is first of all. And secondly, they are prescribed only in certain cases and to a certain group of children (people). Experts call them T4 cells, antiviral bodies, if their number fluctuates between 200 and 500, if below that, immunomodulators cannot be given at all. And our doctors prescribe them to everyone, because all doctors are now on kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies. And none of the doctors talks about the harm from this group of drugs. Look at different programs, recently I don’t remember what channel the program was on, it’s called “Death Virus”, for influenza and ARVI, watch it if you don’t believe me... I treat my children only with folk remedies and so far nothing, everything is fine, the only thing I give is antipyretics critical moments and wipe.

About the health of healthy children, or what NOT to treat a child for.

Blinn. I’ve read a third of it, I’ll probably finish reading it tomorrow, but my topic is right at the beginning - about “do not treat” and “without medications”!)) I almost never call doctors, I don’t go to clinics. Snot, cough, runny nose, fever - everything is exactly as in the article - I do nothing for the most part. We drink, sleep, ventilate. All. But oh my god. I’ve heard so much from everyone over the past 4 years. All my acquaintances, friends, husband and mother are simply tearing me to shreds. That I’m just a sadist and don’t do anything, and an enemy to the child. Mom moans terribly, saying, well, don’t you feel sorry for him? why don't you want to help him?? Sveta, we need to do something. Ahhh. ))) My brain explodes))

But I really believe that if you don’t interfere with the body, then it will cope just fine (well, we’re not talking about serious diseases, of course). And all these manipulations are just for my own peace of mind, they say, I’m flying. But when everyone around you considers you a complete fool and a snide mother, inevitably doubts sometimes creep in, what if I really do make things worse. This is just the popular one, as described in the article - “it will go down”, “it will go over”.) Thank you, I will re-read it more often to make sure that the chosen path is correct)

I always thought that if the cough is not treated, it will only get worse, but it turns out not... it’s good that I read all this. I will be more relaxed about viruses.

Neither pediatricians nor therapists treat us with any “pherons.” And tests are not simply prescribed.

I read about ice cream during illness for the first time! I will never do this, I have chronic pharyngitis and I can’t eat cold at all. And I always keep my feet warm. :-)

Interesting article about diseases and breastfeeding!

that is, you can feed the boobs and treat them?

How to boost a child's immunity? Useful article.

I had to understand the intricacies of how the children’s immune system works, to understand what specific and nonspecific immunity is. My daughter often suffered from colds. No comprehensive measures helped. We followed a sleep schedule, ate right, took vitamins, walked a lot, strengthened ourselves, and went to the sea. But all this was accompanied by systemic colds with a frequency of 1-1.5 months. A year ago, the use of Immunokind was added. This is homeopathy, we have no side effects, and we were very pleased with the result. We took a course of pills for 8 weeks. After 3 months we still haven't had any symptoms of a cold! Autumn passed calmly and joyfully with only a slight runny nose. We took another course for prevention. I really hope that spring will end without colds, and we will happily welcome summer!

Great article. Dad and the child do douses, plus we always take courses of vitamins, but viruses don’t sleep these days, so we also have to take drugs that boost immunity, the pediatrician prescribed a lot of things, but recently they stopped (both the pediatrician and we noticed that the child stopped getting sick ) on Derinat. The first time I gave it to the child when we arrived at the seaside, he usually doesn’t feel well for a week, his nose is running - but then in two days everything went away, they continued to give it for prevention, so he didn’t get sick at sea, and he went to school and nothing happened. I didn’t catch it from others after the summer, as it used to be. In general, the instructions say that from the first days of life, it means it is quite clean.

Not every article about children’s health describes all the details of how a child’s immune system works. As for specific and nonspecific immunity, this is the first time I’ve heard of it :). Our son had serious problems with non-specific immunity and he constantly suffered from colds (despite vaccinations). We have been trying to correct this situation for almost a year, and in principle there is a result. We have completely revised our diet, the atmosphere in the family, increased our walks in any weather, are trying natural preparations like bioaron.com.ua, and are even tempering ourselves a little. I would like to believe that this winter the number of colds will be reduced by half.

herpetic sore throat. our story. very scary

Question about medications...

I found a private pediatrician who tries to treat with homeopathy and herbs - i.e. using mild means without chemicals... I haven’t given a single chemical medicine yet. Of course, when we had very acute situations a couple of times (in the beginning, after a cesarean section, there was pneumonia, and in January there was an intestinal infection - they were on a drip) - this is a different matter - here we were talking about life literally. but these are exceptional situations.

Got sick(

oh these guys! and I would probably go to bed with such a temperature and ask for some tea! This happens to me often too! get well. and with chickenpox, fever and almost immediately a rash on the skin - watery pimples.

What is this bl. Got enough snot. Please! Need advice, help

I treated a persistent runny nose: Sinupret drops, rinsing with Aqualor + Miramistin, Albucid (alternating), levomekol ointment was applied (alternating with drops), and while she was sleeping, also levomekol with a cotton swab so that it would flow down the back wall of the nose, 3 days and ugh Ugh, I can’t jinx it, we also go to the garden, we often get sick, it’s better to treat than to develop adenoids later. By the way, protarogol did not help us much, albucid drops also help, but they sting terribly.

Our medical history.

or maybe teeth?)) when I was three years old, everything started pushing into my mouth, he says my teeth hurt, I was holding my cheeks and the temperature was 38.5 for a day and they couldn’t bring it down... the doctors say that it can’t be, there are already 20 teeth. maybe our accelerators will have everything differently))

oh, even if it’s just a cold, get better!

what's wrong with the child? Please come in

We were so sick recently, the rate was up to 39 for four days. the child was active. I got rid of it quite well with paracetamol, I also see that if paracetamol helps, then it’s more likely to be an infection. Well, the doctor came and listened, he said the virus, among the prescriptions was anaferon, as usual we didn’t give it much, vibrocil for the nose, mucaltin for cough, tonsilgon for the throat. There are still residual effects in the form of coughing and snot on the street. If the child had not been active, then after 4 days he would have started to donate blood.

if anything Lorak and they take blood at home

We recently had the same thing. She started snoring... but I thought the adenoids had already grown... in general, we went to the ENT, my throat was red, there were plaques, I snored because the adenoids had increased in size and it was hard to breathe, because there was no snot correctly. I had a temperature for the first 2 days and barely noticed 37. They prescribed an antibiotic and said if there was a fever. then give, but we did without them. She attributed the suckers and something against the virus.
