Weak of body endurance will causing many problems, like the body easy to be attacked by viruses / germs, it will make us susceptible with many diseases. The example is varicella or cacar air. It is caused by varicella zoster virus that enter to the body passing the mucous membrane upper breath channel (nose and mouth).

Someday ago I suffered cacar air because my body endurance was down. First I think I just ordinary fever, but the next day there were vesicles on my skin. The symptoms of cacar air were body feels to weaken, got fever, headache, and sciatica. In next 24 hours, dilution in vesicles will changing, then it will very itchy. But do not scratch it. dr. H. M. Vinci Ghazali, MBA, MM from Kid’s World, Jakarta, stated that ” if we scratch vesicles, so it will break and open. So the skin do not have protection and can be entrance of bacteriums “.

Although suffered cacar air, I think it is not problem if we take a bath every day. It just a myth that patients of cacar air are prohibited to take a bath. I suggest that we use water antiseptic and be careful when drying body with towel so that vesicles are not break.

Honestly I think patients of cacar air can recover by itself without any medicine. Because the virus can not be killed, we must increase our body endurance to freeze the virus. Consuming more vitamins, nutritious foods, and keep clean our body.
