Dear lybrate user chicken pox is a mild self limiting infection in most. But may be life threatening in pregnant women. We need not treat a patient having chicken pox with antiviral drug (like acyclovir) in most patients as the infection is self limiting. But we offer symptomatic treatment for fever. Body ache etc with paracetamol. Symptoms like itching may be relieved by antihistaminic drugs like chlorpheneramine etc. Rest with normal diet and 2 to 3 litres of water a day will be enough.
