What is Boston?
Boston Disease is a viral infection accompanied by a rash on the body in the form of spots about 1 cm in diameter. The first symptoms of the disease are fatigue, sore throat, fever, lack of appetite and general malaise. Sometimes there is nausea and vomiting. After 2-3 days, a salmon-colored rash appears on the body. Bostonka most often affects children up to 10 years of age. The source of infection is usually nurseries and kindergartens. The disease lasts about a week and does not require special treatment. It is enough to relieve the symptoms. Unlike chicken pox, which is often confused with, it can attack the body multiple times. One illness does not immunize against another.
Bostonka attacks children in nurseries and kindergartens. There is no obligation to report this disease to the Sanitary Inspection, so we do not have official data on the number of infected people, however, institutions warn parents about the prevalent virus. Fall is the time when we have the most cases of Boston Disease.
There is no vaccine for this condition, but you can reduce your risk of getting sick. The most important thing is to maintain proper hygiene. The virus is transmitted by food and droplets. It is necessary to wash your hands frequently, but do not use the same dishes and cutlery. It can be quite difficult for children to follow the latter rule. Toddlers are happy to share food and drink with each other, regardless of the risk of infection.
Boston’s disease in children is milder than in adults. Usually it does not pose any threat, its symptoms are only very bothersome. This does not mean, however, that it can be underestimated. In rare cases, serious complications may occur. You should also not make a diagnosis yourself. Bostonka is often confused with chickenpox or vice versa. A doctor should always see the child in case of malaise and rash.
