Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

If you had chicken pox once in your life time you will not have it again.

One infection with chicken pox will produce life long immunity.

So if you are right that you had chicken pox when you were 4 year old then you will not have it again.

Hope this helps.

Take care.

Hi well come to hcm.
Need not worry, it is self limiting condition if no compliction. Isolation,antibiotic,
Antiviral like acyclovir, and caladryl lotion for itching are sufficiet to treat them. If
fever or respiratory symptoms are associated than cough syrup and paracetamol
in addition to this may require.Isolation is must other wise can transmit to others.
Thanks
