Use aciclover for him and make sure he does not go out. He will be fine in about a week to 10 days.

SeriouslySense:
i had it also when i was little, i thought everyone had it.

It's not a good experience o. I stay alone but I minimized my movement and I didn't allow any visitor in my house. I was always naked and at night it's worst. Omo... E be like person won die. I used 7keys kinikan.. Na lie in fact one should be careful of that 7keys because of your liver. Best drug for chicken pox is aciclovir (kills it from inside), paracetamol for body temp and vitami C to help hormone fight it too

hot weather is a major promotor of all poxes.

There is really nothing to fear about the sickness is really not a deadly one.

After this one, he will never have it again till death.

Its an autoimmune kind of disease.

You may likely notice that some members of the family may contact it while others will not.

You only contact it once in a lifetime.

It may not return again.

He might have lots of discomfort at night.

Gove him paracetamol if need be.

Really? Cause I know a make friend that got it in his adulthood.

Abi nah smallpox he got?

Too much chicken

Why are people talking of vaccination against chicken pox? A disease that does not kill and which confers lifelong immunity?

Take him to the nearest hospital, Ma.

It's a viral infection. With or without your intervention, it will run its course after some days.

He only needs something for the pain and to reduce itching.

Don't allow him scratch too much so he won't have permanent scars at the end.

Antibiotics aren't really needed except for fear of secondary bacterial infection.

Calamine lotion may also help

Otherwise, he will be fine in a few days.

It is not an autoimmune disease

Get Neem leaves, cook it and bath him with it. It will take it natural cause. Learn not to scratch it because the aftermath of that is worse. It leaves a forever scar on the body

Please avoid giving him injection for now.
Get the following

Get Calamine losion from pharmacy and be rubbing it in the body
Fecth bitter leave and squeeze out the water, add hot drink and use it to rub his body everytime
Get Ose Ero from iya alagbo in your area.
Within 1 week it will disappear. this happened to my boy last year December.

heat. it will run its course and wont show up again

Now this is one of the issue I have with vaccines. What is the use of vaccines of it cannot prevent the disease?

The immune response from the body will be generated by this actual event, that is why your child may not suffer it after contracting the virus, but not after the vaccine.

Let me ask, was he vaccinated recently or any child vaccinated recently that you know of?

They say vaccine reduces the symptoms, I'm yet to find a case like that. Most times when these viruses hit, there is almost no difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Why am i seeing antibiotics as part of the treatment for what is a viral infection?

I would strongly suggest that everyone in your household should take Ampicilin or Amoxil. The best you can do for the child is get some pain relievers and also something to stop itching. ChickenPox runs its full circle, with severe itching being the last part of that circle, once the itching sets in, know that it has almost run full circle. It's a communicable disease, so ensure you all take antibiotics and vitamin C.

Try not to open the the blisters else it may scar for life.

You are largely right but chicken pox isn't an autoimmune condition. It's caused by varicella zoster virus (same virus that causes chicken pox and shingles). Spread is via contact and droplet

I had this infection in JSS3. It was caused by poor dietary hygiene & spreading clothes on the floor. I used to drink any water without checking if it was clean or not.

After I survived, I started paying close attention to my life. The experience was terrible. Itching, discomfort, headache.

Rush and buy 7 kiss Aladin

This is the season. Give him alot of fluid like juice. You can make it yourself. Apple, carrots, pine apple, orange etc. This will help to build his immunity and prevent him from losing appetite.

Instead of assuming it's chicken pox from your Google search, why not take him to the hospital to be properly diagnosed? There are talks about monkey pox and a few others that could spread like that. I'm sure there are treatments for it.

You took your son to a chemist for diagnosis. You see Nigerians ignorance? Nah wah

Juanmike:
I never had I never will.

Ok Mr. Reptile.

Cause is lack of vaccination when he was a baby. Its never too late though. It can still be treated.

KingAzubuike:

Una too dey over estimate this palmoil.. person drink poison una go rush give am palmoil, sniper palmoil, pikin chop soap palmoil, chicken pox palmoil. Everything palmoil. Epilepsy palmoil

Hahaha

Please take your son to a good hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

MaryAye:
I didn't allow him to go to church yesterday and school today. I'm getting scared but after reading your input, I think a little relieve.

Lol don’t be
Go to a chemist and get calamine lotion to apply on the spots.
Don’t buy 7keys ginikun oh because it’s herbal and not nafdac cert and herbal is not adviceable for kids.

It should clear in a few days but the scars it will leave behind are the hardest part.

famouscargo4u:
Use aciclover for him and make sure he does not go out. He will be fine in about a week to 10 days.

Antivirals might be useful only when given within 24hours of the appearance of the rash .
By the way, there's no need for the acyclovir .
Calamine lotion on the lesions and syrup piriton/loraradine would suffice for the itching.
Paracetamol for fever and keep him away from other kids.
Since he was vaccinated, he'd have a mild infection and he'd be fine in another week

kenny714433:

Too much of eating chicken.

This makes me remember my JSS3. 😂

It was the month of burning hunger and scorching hot dry season.

A JSS1 student who went home for treatment returned back. After few days, he was admitted into the infirmary for chicken pox.

After few days, his friends contacted the pox. It kept spreading, till it resembled zombie apocalypse 😂

In the midst of about 600 students, you no longer trust anyone. The school clinic was now filled to the brim and the school didn't sign students out for treatment.

Immediately you see a funny rashes during public bath, you knew it was your time. It came like death, picking people at random. Once you've been infected, the news spreads like wildfire and they begin to treat you like the lepers in the Bible 😂

The scorching heat, the sweet and bitter scratch experience and worst still the discrimination made pox resemble the worst thing that could ever happen to humans then.

When the school got overwhelming number of those infected, they had to start massive fumigation and administration of good antibiotics.

If you've seen any scary Vampire movie, you will understand this story. Just a contact and you are gone.... When you see a funny looking rash on your body, you then realise that the world has come to an end for you 😂😂

I dont know why, but I laughed so much reading this

It's caused by Varicella Zoster virus

Damn! I hate chickenpox 🤧

i think everyone must get infected at a point in their lives after which they become immune to it
my little cousin infected me during mid term break when i was in jss2, so i unknowingly carried the disease back to school. i kid u not, i infected 70% of the students. it was a boarding school with lots of students, they almost cancelled lectures cos almost everyone was sick, hostels were just filled with sick student, we were admitted in hospitals in batches.

sharp students in their FBI fashion investigated and traced everything to me, i almost collect beating that day. hahahaha, memories

Maybe he got it from someone in his school, you have to be careful because it's transferable.
