My sister, 28 years old is suffering from chicken pox since 3 days and big sized boils have appeared on face. Fever is low now. Please advice medicine and diet/precautions.

Any steroid like Omnacortil must be avoided in viral disease like Chicken pox. Symptomatic treatment for fever, pain, itching and local application may be necessary. No food restrictions. Some mild antibiotic for infection (Pus formation) may be necessary. Antiviral tablets like Ocuvir tablets for 8-10 days ensures faster cure. Consult a Physician for details.
