Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Herpikind contains medicine acyclovir. It is used to control viral eruptions of chicken pox. Please take it as recommended and the rashes will get controlled.
2. You can take tablet paracetamol 500 mg if there is fever and pain. This should be taken after food and every 6 hours as required.
3. Please eat nutritious food cooked in less oil and spices. Taking fruits is also suggested.
4. Wear loose cotton clothes which will cause less friction with skin rashes. You can apply calamine lotion over rashes to decrease itching. Please do not scratch the rashes and they will fall on its own in few days. For intense itching you can take cetirizine 10 mg once daily at night.
5. Drink lot of water and juices to keep yourself hydrated. Avoid going out in the sun and take rest.

Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. It is good to know that you are not having fever or pain. Then there is no need to take paracetamol.
2. There is a possibility that you can have mild conjunctivitis which is causing eye grittiness. You can apply 2 drops of OFLOX-D eye drops every 3 to 4 hours during the day for about 5 to 7 days. This will control any eye infection. Please wear sun glasses to protect your eyes and stay away from smoke and dust pollution.
3. In food you can take non spicy food like bread, idli, plain rice and dal with non spicy vegetable, khichdi and fruits. Drink water and juices during your journey.
