00:18 | She is scared and says that the wrath of the Goddess has befallen on her husband. |
00:24 | She asks her children to get out of the house soon. |
00:29 | 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. |
00:43 | 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. |
01:07 | The doctor ignores Anita and goes inside the house and then Anita follows hesitantly. |
01:15 | The doctor examines Ashok and informs him that he has chickenpox. |
01:21 | But Ashok and Anita do not know what chickenpox is. |
01:26 | They look questioningly at the doctor. |
01:29 | 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. |
01:42 | Let us first see what chickenpox is. |
01:46 | 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. |
01:58 | 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 |
02:20 | * pregnant women, |
02:22 | newborn babies, |
02:25 | teens and adults, and |
02:28 | 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. |
05:22 | This brings to the end of the tutorial. Remember, seeking medical aid is always helpful. |
