It is important to NOT give anything to reduce fever, such as

Tylenol. I've heard that oatmeal baths help with the itching, but

I'm not sure how much oatmeal to put in the bath.

Just put about a cup or 1/2 cup in an old sock and tie a knot. Let it soak in

the tub--my girls had a blast squeezing the " oatmeal milk " in the tub and in

cups and rubbing it on them. After the tub I just opened the sock and dumped

the oatmeal in the toilet and rinsed the sock out and used it again. They

probably took about 4 baths a day when it was bad and it's a nice distraction

from the itching.

Oat Meal baths are very helpful to deal with itching. I have taken a few myself.

Oatmeal is cheap so be generous with it. Tim

When they pulled off the polio scam in the 1950s that is exactly the same ploy

they used.

The doc would ask if the kid was vaxed. If mom said yes than it wasn't polio. If

mom said no than it was polio.

Have another laugh, tell your doc it can't be viral, because viruses don't

exist.

Well, my husband just talked to the boys mom and she took her son to the Dr.

this morning

and he said he isn't sure it is chickenpox. He says because the boy is vaxed

there isn't a

good chance it is. I laughed and told my husband that that is the excuse Dr's

give when

someone comes down with a " vaccine preventable " disease and they have been

vaxed. The

doctor told her that he thinks it might be a viral infection. The little boy is

almost 3, and he

did have the chickenpox vax. I guess I will just have to wait and see if my son

gets it. I

didn't get to talk to her so I am not sure if anyone else in his daycare has it.

I will try to find

out from her. I will post more if my son shows any symptoms.

Thanks,

A doctor should be able to tell. I guess it's easier to get paid for dismissing

it than to actually put more thought into it. Lazy doctor. What does he think CP

is, anyway, if not a viral infection?

Thanks Tracey,

Do you know what are the antiviral drugs ? Acyclovir ?

Good news, the varicella test came back positive, so I shouldn't have

to fear my adorable little niece that looks like a pizza right now the

poor thing. It would have been heartbreaking to be avoiding her the

whole time. And we ll have a prescription of acyclovir in case any of

us catch it.

My new onc at kaiser was really on the ball on that one, she answered

my email in about 10mn and ordered the test stat so all went really

fast. I was a bit embarrassed to have a problem in her first month

when I didn't see the previous onc for about 2 years, but now I feel

like I can count on her. That's good news too.

Thanks everyone for sharing your chickenpox stories.
