hi,
welcome to this forum.
Can understand your concerns.

in chickenpox, the fluid filled skin lesions persists for up to a week. This skin lesions increase till 4th day of chickenpox and then gradually starts to decrease.in chickenpox, fever also remain for a week.

During chickenpox, the appetite of child decreases and so the child is not able to take solid foods. So we, usually advised the parents to give more liquid diet and semi solid diet to the child. It is advisable to give glucose mixed with water two to three times a day for 5 days.

I hope this will help you.
Take care.

Regards,
Dr Deepak Patel
