Health advice on chicken pox

These tips can help you feel less itchy:

• Keep cool because heat and sweat will make you itch more. You might want to put a cool, wet washcloth on the really bad areas.
• Trim your fingernails, so if you do scratch, they won't tear your skin.
  
  
  
• Soak in a lukewarm bath. Adding some oatmeal to your bath water can help relieve the itching.
• Have your mom or dad help you apply calamine lotion, which soothes itching.
  
  
  

Scratching the blisters can tear your skin and leave scars. Scratching can also let germs in, and the blisters could get infected. If your fever goes higher and an area of your skin gets really red, warm, and painful, tell an adult right away. You'll need to see a doctor because you could have a skin infection.

While you have the chickenpox, a pain reliever like acetaminophen might help you feel better, but let your parents help you with this.

 Some very powerful herbs are: St. John's wart, pau d'arco, ginger, burdock root, echinacea, and goldenseal. 

 Drink lots of water to prevent dehydration.  Also, drink fresh juices. 

 Fill the bath tub with cool water and add ginger to it, take a 30 minute bath. This helps stop the itching.
