Chickenpox all over dd 2.5y genitals - help please

[inneedofcake]

Can anyone help - my youngest who is 2 and a half has chickenpox all over but has loads and loads of spots around and in her bottom and vagina which are driving her mad. We've tried
Calpol - brings temp down but nothing else
Piriton - nothing
Bicarb and oats in bath - help while she's in there but not once she's out
Aqueous calamine cream - not sure whether it helps or not but she hates having it put on and says it hurts
I'm desperate for any suggestions that might relieve the pain/itching for her she keeps crying and telling me it hurts and I just can't do anything, it's so upsetting. She only slept a couple of hours last night as it was so sore, the rest of the night we carried her around or she was in the bath!
Any suggestions would be really welcome
very much inneedofcake!

Under 12s shouldn't have aspirin anyways.

I think there's some evidence to say ibuprofen isn't recommended when suffering with chickenpox

Another vote for calamine lotion on the pox. The chalkiness seems very calming.

I know this is an old thread, but it's still coming up on Google searches. Never EVER use Nurofen! It causes a reaction that makes any infected spots significantly more likely to result in septicaemia!

NHS is a little vague as they only refer to NSAIDs (Nurofen), but not by name : www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Chickenpox/Pages/Treatment.aspx

The press is more explicit : not for the faint heated!

As long as she continues to pee. This is where my dd had them but she held onto her wee for 26 hours. You're doing as much as you can!
