Please get a video consultation with a pediatrician, if chiken pox is confirmed, then no need to worry, you can take medicine according to symptoms.
Health Tips
if other children are there in house, they can be vaccinated within 72 hours, so that they will not get chicken pox.

4 years old child with chicken pox is usually managed with supportive care and acyclovir,as the illness is self limiting. Give paracetamol, antihistamines, calamine lotion and acyclovir.Keep the child's nails short to prevent scratching and secondary infection.Hydrate well and soft diet. Start acyclovir within 24 hrs of rash onset(best outcome).Isolate until all lesions crust over(about 5-7days) Watch for complications like persistent fever, breathing difficulty or altered sensorium. Consult a paediatrician for a through physical examination to assess severity and to rule out complications.
