Can I use it? DS is writhing around in agony and I don't have anything else. How about cooled camomile tea?

Both ok. Esp the tea - make as strong as you can, keep it covered while it cools and dab on him with muslin or some kind of cloth. Poor thing.

I had Chicken Pox as an adult and found camomile lotion in the fridge as good as anything - along with cool(ish) baths. Good luck.

Oh yeah or even chamomile tea in the bath. Again brew a strong pot and keep covered while it cools.
