Right now we have everything - scarlet fever, chicken pox, flu, coronavirus and other respiratory infections.

The onset of any acute illness is characterized by high fever, muscle aches and sore throat.

General practitioner Dr. Gergana Nikolova said this on the air of NOVA.

She drew attention to a common practice among parents when their children contract chicken pox.

It is wrong to gather them at a "party pattern", because it is not known how the child's organism will react.

There are no guarantees that chicken pox will go away smoothly.

It's not done like that - we don't gather children next to each other so that they get sick and thus immunize them.

Better to get vaccinated against chicken pox.

Until the fifth day of contact, such a vaccine can be administered.

Even if he does develop symptoms, they will be extremely mild.

So I recommend a vaccine, not "party pox", appeals Dr. Nikolova.

Scarlet fever boom, don't let your untreated child out among others

She also recalled that chicken pox is caused by a virus, and viruses are not treated with antibiotics.

"Viruses are treated with antiviral drugs.

We only treat scarlet fever with an antibiotic," she explained.
