My daughter 3 years old is having symptoms of chickenpox, she is exposed to chickenpox as her mother is having the same. She already took vaccine at age of 1. I'd it ok to start antiviral dose?

Dear lybrate-user usually children do not need any medication for chickepox and it runs its course. If your child is otherwise healthy nothing will be needed except for something to relieve the itching. Please consult a paediatrician for the same. Take care.
