Suggest Treatment For Itching Due To Chicken Pox
Dear Madam,
This is to inform you that, I am a 30 year old guy from Bangladesh. Since my childhood I have never ever been infected by chicken pox. For the last 4 days I am infected by this disease. The infection is huge on my chest, back, face, hands, fingers, legs, hips, under toe. I am also carrying the infection of this chicken pox inside my mouth over my tonsil gland. As a result it is quite hard for me to eat anything since the pain is huge through my neck and I am finding it very difficult to deal with the itching related issue of chicken pox. Do you have any suggestion for me?

Thanks to HCM
I can understand your severity of disease .
in chicken pox most crucial thing is pain &itching
don't try to burst the vesicles over the body because it may spread to unaffected parts also
plz apply calamine lotion for soothing effect ..
take tab, levocetrizine 5 mg once daily for 5 days along with paracetamol and antivirals
plz change you dressings daily ,better use only cotton clothes.
ok don't worry it will be relieved shortly once severity of disease reduced , ok
