Chicken Pox

First of all, get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water. If you feel unnaturally cold, do not attempt to warm yourself up, as an unnatural cold feeling is one of the first signs of a fever. Eat chicken soup and hot drinks (non-caffeinated), raw garlic or garlic powder (for the allicin), as well as plenty of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and Zinc.

For a fever, put a cold wet towel on the forehead, as well as drinking plenty of cold water. Take Acetaminophen (aka Paracetamol), as instructed by the medicine packaging. If fever still does not go down, seek medical attention. DO NOT TAKE ASPIRIN OR IBUPROFEN.

If you have a sore throat or mouth sores, you can gargle saltwater or take a cough drop. After your sickness is cured, dispose of your old toothbrush or deep-clean it. Wash your sheets, especially if you share your bed.

To fix itching and reduce the risk of scarring, do the following

• Trim your nails short
• Apply Witch Hazel or Calamine lotion with cotton balls. Dispose of the cotton balls after use and wash your hands after disposing.
• Wrap paper towels soaked with cold water. Dispose of the towels after use and wash your hands after disposing

If you need to go out, put on a disposable surgical mask. If you anticipate a lot of content, put on gloves.
