Hi, Thanks for your fast reply. I know that is chickenpox because my younger daughter, 2yrs old was diagnosized by the doctor that she had varicella 20 days back, which was very mild with totally 40 blisters on her back , front, face scalp, not on legs or genitals with no itchy, no fever,she looked healthy. After all her blisters are scabbed after 6 days my elder daughter got the same thing but it is severe, she got lots of blisters , which start like red dots, becomes clear blisters break open with clear liquid. She has cough, runny, blocked nose, slight fever, itchy blisters. her appetite is ok. but she has less choice to eat. can she eat food containing salt?

Hi john,
I gave pul 30 yesterday at 6 p.m. Now it's 10:45 a.m. Night at 2 a.m she complained sorethroat, and that her throat was dry. she had some water. So far i didn't see any improvement. Blisters came on her fingers, and near genital area.(before giving puls).

how is her temperament?
what is the intensity of itching?

♡ John Stanton last decade

any change in stool or urination (since puls)?

♡ John Stanton last decade

Her itching is moderate from the beginning. Urination is painful(burning) because of the blister there.

anon99 last decade

if things seem to become too intense--just post symptoms as they are occuring--

♡ John Stanton last decade

Her fever is gone. she still has cough. Yesterday she had severe headache. She got blisters on her palms too.On the face, back and front they scabbed.

I've been doing a lot of reading online since I came down with chicken pox. My doctor put me on Valtrex 3X/day for a week /tylenol as needed or the fever. I took it upon myself to do the aveeno baths 2X a day. Be sure to pat dry with a towel afterwards and clean well making sure not to leave any excess oatmeal where you dont want it (genetalia/buttocks)as it can cause a bad infection or build up. ALSO I discovered you can mix some of the Aveeno in a cup with some water into a think paste. After doing so, spread it on your face with a plastic butter knife into a thin layer to evenly cover your enter face. Let it harden and it will dry out your facial lesions. Do this once a day leaving it on for hours at a time and then gently fluff off with a small towel. This will also help on other areas of the body with itching and drying out.
