Hello,
Chicken-pox should be treated with anti-viral Oral Valacyclovir 1000 mg three times a day for 7 days; rest is supportive care.
I have doubt about homoeopathic drugs containing arsenic. Adult chicken-pox can have complications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
