Time	Narration
00:06	Ashok comes home from his farm and complains about fever and body ache.
00:12	His wife, Anita, looks at him and notices blisters on his hands and legs.
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 last 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	It's 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:
04:00	* If you 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	* Bathe 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.
