It was too tiring to bring his grandson, and the old man suffered from shingles

Modern Express News (correspondent Su Xuan reporter Zhuang Jianxiang) Recently, Mr. Chen, a 56-year-old citizen of Yangzhou, always felt that his right stomach hurt badly. When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor found that he was suffering from herpes zoster due to exertion, and the disease was also contagious.

Mr. Chen was busy with his grandson's schooling some time ago, and he was a little tired. One morning when I woke up, I found that my right stomach hurt badly, and I thought that I had to pick up my grandson, so I put up with it, who knew that in two days, I couldn't stand the pain. When he took a bath at night, Mr. Chen looked down and found that there was a red patch in the pain, and there were some small blisters on the top, which frightened him and hurried to the Subei People's Hospital for treatment.

Dermatologist Wang Xiaokang told Mr. Chen after receiving the consultation that his disease is called shingles, commonly known as "snake wrapped around the waist", the most common manifestation is a needle-like pain on one side of the body after a cold or fatigue, and at the same time, the body on the side of the pain will appear with banded erythema and blisters.

The doctor explained to Mr. Chen that the disease was caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. When Mr. Chen was young, he was infected with the chickenpox-zoster virus, which was manifested as "chickenpox". After that, the virus did not leave the body, but "lurked". These days with grandchildren are too tired, the body's resistance declines, and the virus is activated again.

Wang Xiaokang introduced that the treatment of this disease is mainly in the antiviral, painkiller, anti-inflammatory and prevent complications of "hard work", and antiviral treatment should be treated early, adequate treatment, especially like Mr. Chen, people over 50 years old, early treatment can reduce neuralgia, shorten the process of disease. At the same time, if you have shingles, you must pay attention to rest, otherwise there will be sequelae neuralgia, even if the disease is better, it will hurt. The disease is also transmitted through droplet and vesicular fluid contact, and is contagious two days before the onset of the disease until the blisters dry up and scab.
