Suggest Treatment For Chicken Pox In Kid
my 2 year old grandson has chicken pox. He is covered from head to toe in "pox" which is not worrying. Howevr, his mother called me now to say that 6 or 7 of these "pox" marks have red rings around them. Is this a sign of infection and should she be worried? He has a slight temp and a bit of a cough too
