Hi there...I can understand your concern. If the chicken pox is confirmed, then yes she can be contagious to people who haven't had chicken pox before. Even preganant women are susceptible. She can take antivirals, analgesics, plenty of fluids and rest. Ask her to consult a dermatologist or general physician for the medications.
