Hi
Chicken pox is a viral disease which presents with appearance of itchy red blisters all over the body accompanied with fever.
These rashes further turn pinkish, filled with fluid and burst, finally healing with a rash. The rash disappears after 1 - 2 months.
The treatment include pain reliever and skin soothing lesions.
Please stay away from your baby till the disease is completely cured.
Please see a General Medicine doctor for further evaluation and management.
In case of further doubts, please feel free to write back to me.
Regards
Dr Prashik Meshram
