Hi. I am 32 years old and I am suffering with chickenpox since 5 days. I have meet with general physician and he told me there is no treatment for chickenpox and advice on my diet plan and also adviced me take plenty of water to cool down the body from heat.

There is no specific treatment for chicken pox. It’s only supportive management. Please don’t scratch on the lesions.
Since you are an adult and have developed chicken pox you must be careful so that you don’t develop any complications.
It takes 2 weeks to recover from chicken pox.
