Chicken pox

2 replies

Mum233 · 14/12/2022 11:55

Both of my children have chicken pox. One is covered and itchy. The other is covered and itchy but also having temperatures and sickness. First spots last Saturday and now all are pus filled. What happens next? We’ve cancelled lots of Xmas stuff this week. Will there be any possibility that we will be free by Xmas? Both DC are so upset that we might not do Xmas stuff next week.

how can I help the itchiness? Any advice would be so helpful please!

Also is sickness normal with CP? My son has been horribly sick

Mine got CP within three days of each other. Just temperature and itching. I gave them epsom salt baths and used poxicilliin to help soothe the itching.

they took about a week each to recover.

They should be scabbed over within the next few days I imagine. Once they're all scabbed over you're fine to do as you please, and hopefully do some Christmassy things! Fingers crossed for you all 🤞
