Preventing infection

Chickenpox is most infectious from two days before the rash is present until after scabs have formed on the sores - this takes about seven days. Do not send your child to school or preschool during this time.

Chickenpox infection tends to be milder the younger a child is and symptomatic treatment, with a little sodium bicarbonate in baths or antihistamine medication to ease itching,[6] and paracetamol (acetaminophen) to reduce fever, are widely used. Ibuprofen can also be used on advice of a doctor. There is no evidence to support the topical application of calamine lotion, a topical barrier preparation containing zinc oxide in spite of its wide usage and excellent safety profile.[7].

Hoped this can be of some help.

Big huge to Miss Maya!
Poor wee thing.
At least if the Gremlins do get it too, they'll all be over and done with for good. (hopefully, unless they're freaks like me who get everything twice!)

Awwww, that SUX for you guys.     Can children drink Ural?  Just wondering if that will help with the whole wees aggravating her spots problem. 

I was older when I caught them, and had them internally too... just trying to remember what helped my sore throat...   Jelly.  Nice cool jelly was good, I remember that much.  And cool, damp flannels to press on my skin every now and then.  I'll let you know if I remember anything else.  I hope she's better soon.

That which doesn't kill me can only make me stronger blah blah blah ...

She is a lot happier today, and the spots are starting to dry up, she was quite itchy last night, but (and I'm holding my breath as I type this) I think we might have gotten off very lightly. If this is as bad as it gets we're sweet. Knock on wood, sod off Murphy!

Aw Emma, it sucks seriously, Ayja had them bad as too in her mouth and stuff and they took days to dry up cos each time one lot would start crusting over then more would appear on top of them.

I thought PAris had them bad - till ayja got them, man that was one miserable time of it.

Here's hoping she gets all better quickly and that if the gremlins get them they aren't too spottified.
