food eat healthy and home made preferably to avoid chances of stomach infection. done scratch off the lesions. you can take bath but don't scrub.. dab with towel gently. make sure there are no kids or family members around who have not been affected before so that it does not spread to family members. also if its been 2 days only start on oral antivirals. tab valcivir 1 gm thrice a day for a week. apply anti biotic cream like fudic cream to prevent secondary bacterial infection on the healing pox lesions. hope this is helpful.
