Chicken pox is a self limiting disease. It will take its own time to heal. Don't worry. Follow the advice given below 1. You have to confine yourself in a separate room since it is infectious 2. Take one tablet of paracetamol 500mg sos after food up to a maximum of three tablets a day if you have fever 3. Take one tablet of levocetrizine at bed time and apply calamine/dermocalm lotion if there is itching 4. If there are secondary infection like cough etc, you have to take antibiotic after consulting doctor 5. Take good nourishing diet 6. Take rest 7. Chicken pox takes about 2 weeks time to completely heal up
