is there any medicine for chicken pox?

Answer 1

Chicken Pox Treatment - Acetaminophen
Patients with chicken pox typically have viral-type, prodromal symptoms such as headache, fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. These symptoms can be treated with acetaminophen (Tylenol) with doses determined by the weight of the patient.

Chicken Pox Treatment - Soothing Baths
Frequent baths are sometimes helpful to relieve itching. Adding finely-ground (colloidal) oatmeal such as Aveeno can help improve itching. Oatmeal baths can be prepared at home also by grinding or blending dry oatmeal into a fine powder and adding about 2 cups to the bath water. One-half to one cup of baking soda may also be added to bath water to reduce itching.

Chicken Pox Treatment - Lotions
The most common lotion used for chicken pox is Calamine lotion. This or any similar over-the-counter preparation can be applied to the blisters to help dry them out and soothe the skin.

Chicken Pox Treatment - Antihistamines
Over-the-counter and prescription antihistamines may be used to control severe itching. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is available over-the-counter and hydroxyzine (Atarax) is available by prescription. Both of these antihistamines cause drowsiness and may be helpful at night to help the patient sleep. The newer antihistamines such as loratadine (Claritin), certrizine (Zyrtec), and fexofenadine (Allegra) can be used to control itching but do not cause drowsiness.

Chicken Pox Treatment - Preventing Scratching
Scratching increases the risk of secondary bacterial infections. All patients with chicken pox should have their nails trimmed short. In addition, small children may have to wear mittens to reduce scratching.

Chicken Pox Treatment - Acyclovir
Acyclovir (Zovirax) is an anti-viral drug that may be used to treat chicken pox. In uncomplicated cases acyclovir taken 5 times a day has been shown to cause shorter periods of new lesion formation, fewer lesions, and more rapid healing but only if started within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of the rash. Acyclovir has not been shown to decrease the rate of complications in otherwise healthy children who get chicken pox. Oral acyclovir is more strongly recommended for children with underlying skin disease such as eczema, newborns, adults, and smokers since this group is at greater risk for complications. IV acyclovir is used for people with compromised immune systems.

Chicken Pox Treatment - Other Anti-Virals
Currently acyclovir (Zovirax) is the only FDA-approved treatment for chicken pox. However, the antiviral medications valacyclovir (Valtrex) and famciclovir (Famvir), used to treat herpes simplex virus infections, have been shown to be effective for chicken pox and are often prescribed.

Answer 4

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 5 years ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I know lots of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/IXYEo everything got better.

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system provided the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.

Answer 5

A topical solution in calamine lotion. It will help from itching, scabbing and spreading. Another angle along with the lotion would be the penicillin antibiotic, unless allergic. If so, try a pen. biproduct like amoxycillin, amphicillin etc. If you KNOW you cannot take pn. or pn. b-p Rx then ask your doctor for antibiotic alternatives. There are thousands that will fight pox from the inside out. For OTC pain you can try childrens Ty or childrens Aspirin. If these aren't strong enough let the Doc know, for something stronger. And did I happen to mention...go see your doctor, please!

Answer 6

Use non aspirin medications such as acetaminophen (commonly known as Tylenol®).

Acyclovir (a medicine that works against herpes viruses) is recommended for persons who are more likely to develop serious disease including persons with chronic skin or lung disease, otherwise healthy individuals 13 years of age or older, and those persons receiving steroid therapy

varicella zoster immune globulin (VZIG) can prevent or modify disease after exposure (coming into close contact with a case). However because it is costly and only provides temporary protection, VZIG is only recommended for persons at high risk of developing severe disease

Answer 7

No. The disease is meant to run it's course. After that, one usually never catches it again.

You can, however treat the symptoms, with some calamine lotion for any itching, and some antihistamines and pain reliever if necessary.

Answer 8

As the other answeres have noted, other than preventative vaccination, no.

In most cases, it is enough to keep the chickenpox sufferer comfortable while their own bodies fight the illness. Oatmeal baths in lukewarm water, calamine lotion, antihistamine lotions, and topical lotions can help ease the itching.

Answer 9

run the course get some anti biotics and some good vitamin tablets vitamin A&C
