Talk to Dermatologist on Chicken Pox Or Shingles
Asking For Self, Female 36, lahore cantt
my son had chicken pox around 2 weeks ago and past 2 days I am having pox all over my body but it is more severe than my son's one, it is okay if I take anti viral as I am having too much pain and itching
Yes, antiviral medicine may help, especially because adult chicken pox can be more severe and painful. It works best if started within the first 24 to 27 hours of rash appearance. consult a physician for proper evaluation and dosage.
For itching and pain:
Calamine lotion may help soothe itching
Keep the skin clean and dry
Avoid scratching to prevent marks/infection
Drink plenty of fluids and rest well

In adults chicken pox is severer than children. Get appointment for treatment do not scratch .
If the mother has severe chickenpox symptoms, she should start antiviral treatment like acyclovir promptly to reduce complications. Early antiviral use is most effective within 24-48 hours of rash onset. Rest, hydration, and medical monitoring are important.
