Hello,
It is my pleasure to answer you query,
I had gone through your child history and understand your concern.
Chicken pox is the classic childhood diseases. Usually it starts with fever,headache and Stomach ache.
The chickenpox rash occurs about 10 to 21 days after coming into contact with someone who had the disease.
The rashes are usually first seen on the face, middle of the body, or scalp.Th rash wiill heal without leaving any scars.
For my patients with chicken pox I would have advised
1.Avoid scratching or rubbing the itchy areas.
2.Wear cool, light, loose bedclothes.
3.Give lukewarm baths using little soap and rinse thoroughly.
4.Apply a soothing moisturizer after bathing to soften and cool the skin.
5.Oral antihistamines.
6.Can apply hydrocortisone cream on itchy areas.
Drugs for your child should be taken only after consulting your pediatrician.
Hope you got he information regarding your child.
Thank you.
