Your treatment will depend on the stage of pregnancy and your symptoms. If your is pregnant and having
chickenpox, contact your GYNECOLOGIST IMMEDIATELY.
Chickenpox can cause complications for both the pregnant mother and her baby, so you should get
medical advice as soon as possible.
You may be offered
Aciclovir, an
antiviral medicine, which should be given within 24 hours of the chickenpox rash appearing.
Aciclovir doesn’t cure chickenpox, but it can make the symptoms, such as fever, less severe and help to prevent complications.
Aciclovir is usually only recommended if you’re more than 20 weeks pregnant, but in some cases, your doctor may suggest it if your wife is less than 20 weeks pregnant. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
To help relieve your symptoms, you can try the following:
1 drink plenty of fluids
2 take
paracetamol to lower a temperature or help with pain
3 use calamine lotion to help relieve any itching.
I hope i have cleared your query
