1. Measles: The main source of infection is children. Generally, there is a source of infection from the incubation period to 5 days after the rash appears. The incubation period is 2-3 days. Prevention: Get measles virus and vaccinations on time. Care: Rest in bed, eat light and easy-to-digest food, drink plenty of boiled water, pay attention to the cleanliness of the skin, eyes, mouth, and nasal cavity, care for high fever, and observe the condition to prevent complications.

Care: Do not send sick children to kindergarten. Open windows in the room for ventilation, pay attention to oral hygiene, strengthen nutrition, drink plenty of water, and eat milk, porridge and other nutritionally easy-to-digest foods.
4. Chickenpox: Chickenpox is a highly contagious childhood rash disease that mostly occurs in winter and spring. Spread through direct contact, droplets, and air. 90% of children with the disease are <10 years old, and about 90% to 96% of susceptible contacts will develop the disease. The virus disappears after the chickenpox scabs, so the infectious period is from 24 hours before the visit to the scabs on the lesions, which is about 7 to 8 days. The incubation period is 10 to 21 days, usually about two weeks. The causative agent of chickenpox is varicella-zoster virus (VZV), human herpesvirus type 3. A single infection with chickenpox provides lifelong immunity. However, people with compromised immune function or those who have received the chickenpox vaccine may be infected a second time with mild symptoms.
