Traveling with chickenpox
Question: Dear Doctor. I would be very grateful for your advice. The problem is this: Two days ago, went with my daughter (6 years) in the Doctor Hospital, and then along a corridor running around the girl dressed in pink spots, (later found out that she had a child. Garden chickenpox). It turns out that we have had contact with her. A whole family six days leave for Spain. Maybe that girl was no longer contagious, once her mother has led to a public place where they were pregnant and babies? Is it not supposed to hold it in quarantine? Worry about her daughter-if you suddenly have the road it turns out that she was getting what to do? THANKS in advance!
Answer: If the spots were pink, the more likely it traces after chickenpox. After the 5-th day from the appearance of the last podsypany man is almost non-contagious. The risk of contracting, in my opinion, if this interpretation of your meetings is minimal. To prevent possible to use acyclovir (valacyclovir), but then need a personal consultation with a children's infectious diseases. Sincerely, Zakharenko SM
