Chickenpox is usually more severe in adults than in kids. Fever is more present at the beginning of the disease. You can take 500mg acetaminofen on every 5-6 hours and drink a lot of liquids. Symptoms usually lasts for 2 weeks. I don't see a reason why you should visit hospital's ER because your case is not urgent for now. You can simply visit your primary health provider.
Do you still have a fiver?

Thanks.
I did visit ER as the temperature went spiralling to 104 . They have advised me the same drug & potency. The infection is indeed severe !, have it every where on my body and a new wave looks emminent, hopefully the last.
Thanks for your help and advise.


p.s can't recognize myself in the mirror

How long did it take you to recover? How long did the fever last? Thanks

Worst sickness I have ever had !


10 days of sickness
4 weeks for the blisters to fall
6 weeks later I still didn't have the strength in mylegs to walk more than 5 blocks

Nothing to be scared, but never knew it will knock me out. A really strong attack, as per my Dr., infact did not have a family Dr. when I got sick. My Dr. monitored me for possible secondary infections (herpes,pneumonia), Thank God didn't get any of those.

Had Chicken soup eveyday after the blisters fell off, helped me to get back my strength.

Bye. Keep well.

my husband got a fever in the first 3days,on the next day he hadn't fever,in the next day again he had fever again and it falls to 39 degree celcius,is it dangerous?do i have to send him to hospital?

Check with your doctor, atleast over the phone as there can be secondary issues. The infection alone does not require hospitalization.
btw..I did have bouts of very high temperatures as mentioned in the post before.

(I am not a doctor, just a person who has gone thru' the chicken pox ordeal)

Hi there,

im 21yr old student from London (UK) currently going through the HORRIBLE chicken pox illness. After reading that you have been through it I wondered if you could give me some advise?

I'm on the fourth day of having it, and am covered in spots and blisters everywhere. There are lots on my face as well.

I REALLY!! don't want to scar from this. Can you please reassure me that this is temporary and won't last.

I'm off uni for a few weeks, and won't go back until there's no sign that I've ever had it!!!

Please help, feeling pretty low and miserable at the moment (and itchy!)

thankyou very much

Emma

Hi Emma09,

It reminds me of the horrible time I had last year.

Try to stay cool (physically & mentally) and don't worry, this is just another disease which will come and go.

Don't disturb/pluck the blisters else it will surely leave a scar. There are no marks left on my face, have still had some dark spots on my tummy but they seem to be fading albeit very slowly. But as I took care there are no scars.

Have lots of fruits & soups.

GET WELL SOON !

My daughter had Chicken Pox's 3 times! yes they say you can only get it once, but not true! The first two times, she only had about 10 sores, the third time, WOW! I had never seen anything like it! I felt the need to help her, she was 9 years old. I took Aloe Vera leaves, boiled them and then strained the water into her bath, it helped soooo much! She doesn't have any scars and it helped clear them up. Everyone should have one of these plants in their home. I would highly recommend it for Chicken Pox.
