Chickenpox is caused bythevaricella-zostervirus(VZV), avirusin theherpes family. Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection that most commonly affects infants and young children. It causes a rash of blisters on the skin and mucous membranes.

Advice from your pharmacist regarding chickenpox

Symptoms of chickenpox in children

  • a moderate fever of up to 38 °C, possibly accompanied by a headache;
  • raised red patches on the skin that quickly develop into vesicles or blisters. These blisters are three to four millimeters in diameter and are filled with a clear fluid (resembling dewdrops) that quickly becomes cloudy;
  • severe itching (pruritus).

How to Respond to Chickenpox.

  • Prevent the child from scratching: To avoid scarring and to prevent secondary infection of the lesions—which could lead to hospitalization—the child must be prevented from scratching.
  • Take care of the chickenpox blisters: The best approach is to disinfect them daily with a topical antiseptic. If your children are still in diapers, be sure to change them as often as possible to prevent the blisters in that area from becoming infected due to contact with moisture.
  • Limit baths: In addition to increasing the risk of secondary infection, soaking in water softens the scabs and slows down the healing process. Opt for quick showers with cool (to relieve itching) or lukewarm water.
  • Avoid the sun: And heat in general, which tends to make the itching worse. Keep the temperature in your home below 20°C.

Composition

p 100 ml
Chlorhexidine gluconate1,5 g

Contre-indications

Ce médicament ne doit pas être utilisé dans les cas suivants :
  • dans les yeux ou dans le conduit auditif (risque de toxicité en cas de perforation du tympan) ;
  • pour la désinfection du matériel médicochirurgical (voir Attention).

Attention

Évitez l'usage prolongé de ce médicament, notamment chez l'enfant, sur des surfaces étendues ou profondément lésées, sans l'avis de votre médecin : risque de passage du médicament dans le sang.

Cet antiseptique ne convient pas pour la désinfection des ciseaux, rasoirs et autres objets potentiellement contaminants.

En cas de contact accidentel avec les yeux, rincez rapidement et abondamment à l'eau courante. En effet, la chlorhexidine contenue dans ce médicament peut provoquer des lésions de la cornée. Si vous devez utiliser cette solution sur le visage, veillez absolument à ce que le produit ne puisse entrer en contact avec les yeux.

Interactions médicamenteuses

L'association à d'autres antiseptiques ou aux savons est déconseillée car leurs effets risquent de s'annuler.

Fertilité, grossesse et allaitement

Le passage de la chlorhexidine dans le sang après une application cutanée n'a pas été suffisamment étudié (notamment sur une peau lésée) pour que ce médicament puisse être utilisé chez la femme enceinte ou allaitante sans avis médical.

Mode d'emploi et posologie

Ce produit s'utilise pur, sur les lésions peu étendues, ou dilué dans l'eau (3 bouchons par litre) ou en trempage (3 bouchons poour 2 litres). Rincer après utilisation.

Après dilution, la solution doit être utilisée immédiatement ; la quantité non utilisée doit être jetée.

Conseils

Le simple lavage à l'eau et au savon permet d'éliminer la majorité des germes ; il doit être suivi d'un rinçage soigneux car le savon peut inactiver certains antiseptiques.

Tous les antiseptiques peuvent être contaminés par des germes : une fois ouvert, ne conservez pas le flacon plus de 3 mois.

Effets indésirables possibles

Fréquence indéterminée :
  • eczéma de contact, réaction allergique grave qui nécessite l'arrêt des applications et un avis médical ;
  • brûlure chez le nouveau-né en cas d'utilisation avant un acte chirugical.

De plus, des cas de lésions de la cornée, parfois graves, ont été rapportés après contact accidentel d'une solution contenant de la chlorhexidine avec les yeux.
