My daughter has caught chicken pox and I am in contact with her as well as with my 76 years old father who is receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy and his immunity is very critical. Is there any possibility of me transferring the disease to my father, knowing that he did not get chicken pox ever.

To day my 13 year old son[wt-52 kgs] got chickenpox. Doctor gave medicines like acivir cream,aciclovir tablets[zovirax],cyra-d i.e,pexoclav625,and paracetemol for fever.but my doctor friend suggested not to apply acivircream and aciclovir tablets as they supress the infection and possibility of reoccurence.am i doing any mistake? pls suggest.

No it isn't actually. "The average person gets once affection and once treated meaning it only happens once".

can the rash be easily seen while having fever for young adults?



Posted by:  kozelle007  Posted on: 05/06/2010
one more thing! if a person who has the fever, is within the house (only the fever), can the others prevent acquiring the virus by isolating the said person? say, to another house?
>>>what is the best treatment for those who have this virus?
