I am suffering from chickenpox for last few days. Can you please tell me what precautions should I have to take in such conditions?

Thanks for the query. Chickenpox recovers in 7-10 days. I would suggest you to - avoid going out as it is contagious until all the scabs fall. Take bath using cool water or lukewarm water. Do not scratch the blisters. You can apply calamine lotion. Over-the-counter medicines can help relieve symptoms such as fever and itching. Hope this helps you.
