00:25 She asks her children to get out of the house soon.
00:30 The mother and children come out of the house and lock the door from outside.
00:35 Meanwhile, the doctor from the village hospital passes by their house and greets Anita.
00:44 Seeing the worried expression on Anita and her kids’ faces, she asks Anita what was wrong.
00:51 Anita tells the doctor about the wrath of the Goddess that has befallen on her husband.
00:57 The doctor tells Anita that she would like to see her husband.
01:02 But Anita refuses saying that she should not meet her husband.
01:08 The doctor ignores Anita and goes inside the house and then Anita follows hesitantly.
01:16 The doctor examines Ashok and informs him that he has chickenpox.
01:22 But Ashok and Anita do not know what chickenpox is.
01:26 They look questioningly at the doctor.
01:30 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on bridging the digital divide.
01:34 Here we will talk about chickenpox, its symptoms, causes and the Do’s and Don’ts.
01:43 Let us first see what chickenpox is.
01:47 Chickenpox is a viral infection in which one develops itchy blisters on the body.
01:53 Chickenpox vaccine works very well in preventing the disease.
01:59 Small number of people who take the vaccine may still get chickenpox.
02:03 But they usually have a milder case.
02:06 Generally, chickenpox is mild and not life-threatening.
02:10 But, sometimes it is severe and one needs to be in the hospital, or can even die.
02:18 Chickenpox can affect
02:21 * pregnant women,
02:23 * newborn babies,
02:26 * teens and adults, and
02:29 * people who have low immune systems.
02:32 Once you have had chickenpox, generally the virus does not re-emerge.
02:38 If one gets chickenpox for a second time, it is called shingles.
02:45 Let us now see some symptoms of chickenpox.
02:50 A fever that lasts longer than 2 days
02:54 Red, warm, and sore skin
02:58 Severe itching that cannot be relieved by home treatment
03:03 Rashes that lasts longer than 2 weeks
03:08 Let us now see the duration and contagiousness of chickenpox.
03:13 Chickenpox blisters form in 3-5 days and crust in 7-10 days
03:22 It gets contagious within 1-2 days of its occurrence.
03:27 It remains contagious until all the blisters have crusted over
03:33 Its Highly contagious and can spread very easily from person to person
03:39 Let us now see the causes of chickenpox.
03:43 You can get chickenpox by
03:47 * touching the fluids from a chickenpox blister, or
03:52 * if someone with the disease coughs or sneezes near you
03:57 Risk is greater if you
04:00 * have never had chickenpox before and
04:03 * If you have not taken the chickenpox vaccine either.
04:08 Now, let us see what we should do when we get chickenpox.
04:14 Consult your doctor to ensure it is chicken pox and not mosquito/insect bite.
04:20 Eat a light meal. Home cooked food is advised.
04:26 Bath in cool or lukewarm water every 3 to 4 hours for the first few days.  
04:33 Add neem leaves to the water used for bathing. It reduces the itching.
04:38 Have a bath and pat the body dry.  
04:42 Drink lots of water -coconut, barley or anything that is cooling.
04:49 Wash clothes of the infected person separately to avoid spread of the infection.
04:55 If you have not had chickenpox or the vaccine, you should get vaccinated.
05:02 Let us now see what you should not do during chickenpox.
05:08 Avoid scratching the red itchy blisters.
05:10 This can lead to bacterial infections and scarring.
05:15 Avoid contact with other people because they may get infected.
