No medication to take for prevention
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
The treatment of chicken pox is mainly symptomatic and not actually a treatment. The best thing to do at this point in time is prevention for you. You need not share material or dresses, clothing nor any body contact at this point in time. The infected person need to iron all her dresses.
Treatment requires anti viral drugs only when it does not react to the symptomatic drugs. Drugs again itches ( anti histamines), topical antiseptics or anti septic soap and drugs to reduce fever and aches (analgesics) should be sufficient. Amelioration should be obtained within a week of symptom management.
I suggest the child should be evaluated by a physician for prescription of appropriate symptomatic treatment. Persons who have developed chicken pox in the past have a very reduced risk of developing it again later in life.
You need not take any medication to prevent chicken pox at this point in time.
Thanks and kind regards. Avoid direct body contact and sharing of clothing. Preventive antivirals do not help. Be calm and observant for now. Kind regards and no worries.
