DD2 has chickenpox. Spots coming thick and fast now. DD1 (6) is asthmatic. She is on Seretide. Do I need to do anything if she comes down with it?

I'VE heard that it can be worse for those on steroids.

Thanks

Ds had it last year with asthma and on clenil 100. He was smothered in spots and had but of a fever but wasn't ill as such.

I think it is oral steroids that cause the problem, there is a warning on the information. not sure what happens etc but when my son has bad asthma and is on steroids i make sure the childminder is aware to inform me about chicken pox.
