i have Chickenpox, i'm 22 years old male. Diagnosed as chickenpox in the 4 hrs of rash appearance. I was vaccinated in childhood. No chickenpox in childhood. Started valacyclovir 1gm TDS after 5 hrs of rash appearance. It is third day today. So I have taken: 8 tab.Valacyclovir (asTDS), 5 tab. gabapentin-300 mg (as BD), 5 tab. Aceclofenac-100 mg+paracetamol-325 mg (as BD), 5 tab cefixime200 mg Rashes are just red spots. And are fading than the first day. Will it go as-burst >crust>scab? Or I'll BYPASS THE CRUSTING AND SCABBING STAGE and WILL IT GET ABSORBED without progress? And as I was already vaccinated once WILL I BE STILL INFECTIOUS TO OTHERS UNTIL SCABBING STAGE. And WHAT IF RASHES DOESN'T BURST-IS IT STILL INFECTIOUS? And during macular rash stage can I SPREAD infection VIA AIRBORNE ROUTE?
