How long does it take to recover from widespread chickenpox?

The recovery time for widespread chickenpox varies among individuals. Most people recover within 1 to 2 weeks, with children generally improving faster—usually within about a week—while adults may take up to 2 weeks. Proper scientific care can effectively shorten the recovery period. During this time, it is important to keep the skin clean and dry, avoid scratching the rash, and prevent scabs from falling off prematurely to minimize scarring.

Who should not eat mixed-breed chicken

People who should avoid consuming undercooked chicken generally include pregnant women, infants and young children, individuals with weakened immune systems, those with poor digestive function, and people with underlying medical conditions. Undercooked chicken may carry pathogenic microorganisms such as Salmonella and Toxoplasma gondii. These pathogens can easily cross the placenta and affect fetal development, increasing the risk of birth defects, miscarriage, and other complications. They may also cause infections in pregnant women themselves, leading to symptoms such as fever and diarrhea.
