Monkeypox symptoms are a sign to identify monkeys with the disease. Because the condition has not spread quickly, researchers are constantly looking to know the cause. Here's some information about monkeypox, its signs, and how to prevent it.
1. What are the signs of monkeypox?
Currently monkeypox symptoms are being monitored for clarification. Initially, the risk of transmission was identified as possibly related to the problem of respiratory droplets. When you live or share items with someone who has monkeypox, you are also at risk of contracting the disease. Currently, however, the reported cases of monkeypox are mainly in children.
Monkeypox symptoms can be recognized if you experience some symptoms such as: High fever, muscle pain, lymph nodes, rash, .... Usually this disease can last 2-4 weeks and Monkeypox symptoms are detected 5 to 21 days after the body is infected with the virus.
Most reported cases of smallpox are initially characterized by fever, headache, chills, swollen lymph nodes, and exhaustion. For patients with fever, most patients have a rash with itching for 1-3 days. The face is the first part to appear and then it will spread to the rest of the body.
At first, pustules will only appear sparsely, but then they will spread and the number of nodules can be in the thousands. The inside of each pimple is filled with a fluid called pus. When treated well, they will gradually scab over and disappear until the skin returns to its normal state.
2. How dangerous are the symptoms of monkeypox?
With covid 19, the risk of infection comes from droplets. But monkeypox is transmitted by close contact or sharing items with an infected person. Therefore, you need to avoid sharing personal items or bedding with an infected person to avoid infection.
According to medical analysis, monkeypox has 3 main routes of infection to be aware of:
Infection through scratches, bites that have been infected with the virus Meat-eaters and animals The person who eats the meat is infected. The person is in close contact with a person infected with monkeypox. Symptoms of monkeypox take 5-21 days to be visible. At that time, the skin begins to suffer. Parallel to skin damage is damage to the respiratory tract or mucous membranes in the eyes, nose and mouth. For humans, this disease can be transmitted through droplets, but the distance is short, so if not close contact will not lead to high infection. You can rely on that to prevent the risk of infection.
Health organizations are still working to find out the cause of this monkeypox outbreak. According to the WHO, there are three common abnormalities found in monkeypox symptoms.
Patient has not traveled to an area with a high number of confirmed cases of monkeypox The disease is at risk when performing sexual health services The spread of the disease is very silent and only for a period of time time
3. The risk of monkeypox symptoms is a sign of a dangerous disease
To date, doctors in and out of the region studying the symptoms of monkeypox are still not fully aware of how contagious the disease is and how dangerous it really is. However, health policies after detection are still continuing to promote relentlessly to prevent and prevent the risk of disease for healthy people.
According to the announcement from the health organization, there is no specific treatment for monkeypox. Just like us, there are many difficulties when conducting research on the rate of spread or effective prevention measures. Moreover, the dangerous route of transmission is suspected to be the sexual route, not the respiratory system. This is worrisome because it affects same-sex couples more.
About preventive vaccines doctors ask during research and preparation. However, the disease is still quite new, and there is not enough data, so it is not possible to produce an accurate product. The vaccines will continue to be further analyzed and tested for more response data. When the vaccine is effective and safe, doctors will proceed to use it for humans.
4. Plans for prevention or treatment when detecting symptoms of monkeypox
Currently, monkeypox prevention is using isolation measures and clean hygiene. Because research doctors think that after 2-4 weeks, people with the disease will have a slight reduction in symptoms and begin to recover on their own. However, when you are infected, you should still examine your doctor and use anti-viral drugs as prescribed by your doctor to prevent the danger of monkeypox.
Symptoms of monkeypox cause severe skin lesions. Although the disease is still new, you should pay attention to the precautions prescribed by the Ministry of Health to ensure safety for your health.
