Introduction to disease
In the disease of smallpox, red rash appears on the body after fever. These rashes take the form of blisters after 2 to 3 days. In 4 to 5 days, the crust starts falling down from these grains. Due to fever and burning sensation in smallpox, the patient has a lot of restlessness. It takes at least 7 to 10 days to cure this disease.
