Patient's question:
My daughter is only five years old. Then, a couple of days ago, she accidentally got chickenpox from her classmates at school. Now she has been staying at home. The child is so young, and I'm very worried about her. She keeps asking me if she's going to die. She keeps scratching her chickenpox and crying. Her hands are all scratched and broken. It's terrible. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Dear parent, if your child has chickenpox and it itches noticeably, they can take the relevant oral liquid. This medication can help relieve the itching. Then, apply cream to the affected area and take it orally. Both are antiviral medications used to treat chickenpox. During this period, you should also pay attention to a light diet and avoid eating greasy or spicy foods.
