Chickenpox contracted in adulthood generally causes more suffering. Fever Headache, bodypain, uneasiness, itching, eruptions all over, with watery collection, scab formation with itching sometimes pain and pus in eruptions is the common course. It will be cured on its own. Sometimes medicines for symptoms, antibiotics and antiviral tablets like Acyclovir may have to be taken If you are not relieved within 2-3 days see your doctor
