But situation doesn t seems to be good enough..

Use paracetamol to relieve fever and discomfort – don't use anti-inflammatory painkillers, such as ibuprofen, as they can sometimes make people with chickenpox very ill
use calamine lotion, moisturising creams or cooling gels to ease itching
tap or pat the skin rather than scratching it – it's important to avoid scratching because this can lead to further problems
drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated
