Hi, i just got chicken pox and i am an adult. The first 2 days i had severe bodyache and i didnt know about my infection. My nephew was around me at home the whole day, and he never got it when he was a kid. Today is the 5 th day after my bodyache do you think he can be vaccinated today and if its useful now?
Hello, As per your clinical history is concerned, please take a course of antiviral [Acyclovir] and discuss medication [an antihistamine] for itching and give the kid only antiviral now and this will lessen the severity of the disease. For prevention in the future, discuss with your doctor about chickenpox vaccine (Varix). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
