Question
My child has recently developed chicken pox and a fever, and I’m not sure how to treat it.
Answer
Typically, medications such as Viral Clear Tablets, Ribavirin Granules, and Isatis Root Granules can be used for treatment, along with ensuring the child drinks plenty of water, rests at home, and avoids vigorous exercise. If there is a fever, a fever-reducing medicine can be used, or physical cooling methods can be employed temporarily to lower the temperature. It’s also important to prevent the child from scratching the blisters, and antihistamines can be taken for itching. Generally, symptoms should improve within a week.
