Cups &#8211; impetigo"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Swine fever is a contagious infection of the skin caused by bacteria.\u00a0Usually, it starts as a small red dot.\u00a0Piglets are most common in children.\u00a0It is usually possible to treat piglets yourself by washing thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is most common for children to get pigs, but it is possible to get pigs of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of swine fever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common thing is that piglets usually start as a small dot.\u00a0It then becomes a bladder with fluid, which becomes a bladder with each.\u00a0Afterward, a honey-colored crust is formed on the bladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the skin just becomes red and glossy.&nbsp;Sometimes there will be both red spots and blisters.&nbsp;Often new blisters or red spots form right next to or elsewhere on the body.&nbsp;The rash can itch and sting, but children do not usually feel particularly ill from the infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pig cups<\/strong> are also called impetigo.\u00a0The incubation period is two to three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most common on the face<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is most common to get pig poop on the face, for example around the mouth, nose wings or behind an ear.&nbsp;But it can also start somewhere else on the body, such as the fingers, arms or upper body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most often, piglets break out in conjunction with a cold, but piglets can also come without you being cold.\u00a0The bacteria get the easier attachment to skin that is irritated or moist.\u00a0Therefore, it is common to have piglets around the nose and mouth when you are cold.\u00a0Children who have eczema get lighter pigs because the skin is sensitive and fragile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is uncommon but sometimes <em>swine fever<\/em> can cause a more severe infection, for example with a fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common bacteria in infection are streptococci and staphylococci.\u00a0It is most common for children to get pigs, but it is possible to get pigs of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Infects easily among children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Piglets are most common among children between one and six years.&nbsp;At preschools, swine cups can spread quickly because the children play close to each other and use the same toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can I do for myself?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the child does not have a fever and if the rash sits on a well-defined skin area, you can treat the rash yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wash the rash thoroughly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash the rash thoroughly with liquid soap and water both morning and evening.\u00a0You can possibly wash with chlorhexidine solution, which is available at pharmacies.\u00a0Folding dryer with a disposable towel.\u00a0Although it hurts, it is good to soak up the yellowish crusts that form on the blisters, and remove them as you wish.\u00a0It may be easier to remove the crusts if you apply a wet compress to the wounds for a while before washing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, the crusts can come back fairly quickly, but by repeating the treatment you ultimately prevent the bacteria from growing and the wounds usually dry out afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can the child be in childcare or school?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The child is infected as long as the wounds are moist.\u00a0Children who attend preschool or family daycare should be at home until the wounds look completely dry, and thus are healed.\u00a0Schoolchildren who understand that it is important to be careful about washing their hands can be at school.\u00a0However, they should not be involved in activities such as sports, swimming or cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try to limit the infection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wash your own and baby&#8217;s hands frequently with soap and water.&nbsp;Avoid direct contact with the rash.&nbsp;If it still happens, wash your hands carefully.<\/li><li>Both adults and children should use disposable towels.<\/li><li>Change clothes every day.&nbsp;If the rash is on the face, it is also good to change the pillowcase daily.&nbsp;Wash clothes and bedding at least 60 degrees.<\/li><li>Try to get the baby to avoid itching or touching the wounds.<\/li><li>Cut the nails on the baby so they are easier to keep clean while making it harder to tear the wounds.<\/li><li>Wipe the door handle and anything else that you bring in with your hands.&nbsp;Wash toys and toys if possible.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When and where should I seek care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most often, you do not need to seek care because piglets can be treated on their own for a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact a\u00a0health care center\u00a0if the wounds have not healed after this time, or if the rash continues to spread throughout the body.\u00a0You should also do this if the rash is on a large area of \u200b\u200bskin or if the person who has <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">swine fever<\/span> has a fever.\u00a0Then treatment with prescription drugs may be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Influence and participate in your care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can seek care at any medical center or open specialist clinic you want throughout the country.\u00a0Sometimes\u00a0a referral\u00a0\u00a0to the open specialized care is\u00a0required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You should understand the information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for you to be involved in your care and treatment, it is important that you understand the information you receive from the healthcare staff.\u00a0Ask questions if you don&#8217;t understand.\u00a0For example, you should get information about treatment options and how long you may have to wait for care and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children should also be involved in their care.&nbsp;The older the child, the more important it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need tools, you should get information about what is available and how to get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Children should be able to participate<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no age limit for when a child can have an influence over their care.\u00a0The child&#8217;s ability to participate in related to the child&#8217;s maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The older the child, the more important it is for them to be involved in their care.&nbsp;In order to be active in the care and to make decisions, it is important that you as an adult and the child understand the information you receive from the care staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swine fever is a contagious infection of the skin caused by
