How to treat chickenpox in a 13-month-old child?

Patient's question:

Got chickenpox. Untreated, only took antiviral oral liquid.

Doctor's answer:

Early use of acyclovir or ganciclovir, for 5 to 7 days, or combined with interferon, can inhibit viral replication. Daily intramuscular injection of vitamin B1 also has a certain therapeutic effect. Effective antitoxins can be selected for secondary infections. Varicella should not be treated with hormones to avoid viral dissemination.
