Chicken pox
I have chicken pox not much.. on hands 2 to 3 .. head 6 to 7. Chest and stomach areas. Like that. Doc gave me valcyclovir 1gm. My age is 33. I met dermatologist. I have fever . How many days it will take to cure. I have throat pain is this normal. Do i need any other medications?
It will take 7 to 10 days, from day of beginning, to resolve.
For fever you can take tab paracetamol 500mg 1 sos ( when fever occurs), so hot saline gargles. Take tab cetrrizine 5mg one morning and one evening for 4 days to have relief in itching.
Next Steps
Do not scratch the lesions with nails. Do not remove scabs manually as that can lead to scarring.
