Recently I have been to my sister's place where her son is infected by chicken pox. I was playing with for whole day. Now M worried I also might be infected with chicken pox as I haven't had it before. Please tell me precautions to avoid me from getting infected with chicken pox on before hand.

If you have been exposed, there is no way you can prevent it now. Chickenpox vaccine when given within 72 hours of exposure is known to give some protection. But that again is not 100 percent. So just wait and watch.
