Greetings.  Sorry prescription cannot be given on this forum without seeing the patient.  You can apply calamine lotion. Stay away from children and elderly individuals and public places.  It is best to stay isolated  and take rest in a room for about five days till all lesions crust and heal - so as to avoid infecting  others. Take bath daily.  Warm regards Dr Govind Suresh Mittal Bengaluru.
