Chicken Pox

[florafoxtrot]

Confirmed case in DD nursery reported today. Any advice on what to stock up on just in case?

Calpol (NOT nurofen)
Priton syrup if old enough
Big tub of bicarb for baths
Big bag of oats and pair of tights for baths

Thanks @Seeline. Should have said, she's 2.

I had remembered being put in the bath with something when I had it at 5 - will have been bicarb.

There's various lotions and potions you can use on the spots e.g. virasoothe is one I think

My DD had CP badly at about that age. She had several baths a day - just warm with a large scoop of bicarb - it was the only thing that worked.

I know some people put oats in an old pair of tights and run that under hte tap during filling the bath.
