Infected With Chicken Pox, Took Antipox Medications Earlier. Any Treatment And Precautions ?
I am 23, and I and my father(age 55) got infected with chicken pox 3 days back. My younger brother was the first to catch pox 20 days earlier.
Also, I had chicken pox twice when I was a child, and I had taken homeopathic antipox medicines this year in April.
Kindly advice me on some necessary treatments and precautions.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
If some one develops chicken pox once, than immunity for whole of the life produced in the body.
Once infected person never infected again because of life long immunity.
If, you , according to got infected with chicken pox previously than no chance of any chicken pox this time.
If misconception in your case ( two times earlier) than you have to develop chicken pox as virus has already infected you.
So wait and watch and enjoy life.
Good luck.
