I wouldn't bother tbh. Just give piriton for the scratching. Sorry you have the dreaded pox in your house. Hope she gets it mildly.
The NHS direct site has info on chicken pox.

I wouldn't bother either, DS had them in his eyes and they still just sent me home.

Isn't she too young for Piriton though?
