My father is suffering from chicken pox or small pox I don't know exactly for 8 days. It's excessively in the face & body too. The eyes along with the whole face got swollen & can not talk normally & sometimes at night he may see some people calling him, it's his illusion. What should I do now?

Small pox is not there in this world except the virus preserved in 2 laboratories- you may give plenty of water/fresh vegetables/fruits to him//don’t give oily fried or junk food/let him rest in a clean dry room with good ventilation//give symptomatic and supportive treatment by consultation with a local doctor/give him plenty of carbohydrates rich ethnic food//keep him happy and confident by supporting him; chit chatting with him-ok—don’t expose him to extreme cold or hot weather—ok.
