Well he's finally got the pox (I assume, he was exposed last Tuesday and has an itchy back with 3 or 4 red spots coming up), so as a CP virgin

Do I have to take him to the doctor?
Yes or No

What do I need to get for him?
Is it Calamine and Piriton? anything else effective in stopping the itch?

Thanks experienced ones

Big lump has just appeared on his neck, under the skin (not where I would imagine it to be glandular swelling though, kind of half-way down the tendon)

its about the size of a 5p piece and moves around under the skin, doesn't hurt or itch - no reddening on skin

is it connected to the CP?

I've never had swollen glands with chicken pox but I suppose it is feasible that they would come up with any infection that attacks the immune system.

this is a picture of swollen glands. Is that what the lump looks like?
