Chicken pox comes with a contact with another case from 2-3 days before he shows some symptoms of chicken pox and period of getting actual disease (incubation period) is 10-14 days from date of contracting. So did he have chicken pox himself 2-3 weeks before 2/5/16 like early sypmtoms. Watery itching eruptions or scab formation?. At age of 45 years chicken pox may give more problem like severity and prolonged problem hence meet a good physician for examination, advice and treatment.

Hi lybrate user, your anxiety is very much valid. There are chances for infection. In homeopathy we have better vaccinations as remedies which are efficacious in preventing attacks.

Dear Lybrate Chickenpox is communicable disease. Every person in his lifetime suffer from it. If you didnot have it ever before you may get infected. Now a days vaccine is available but it is not 100 percent sure. So dear there are no preventive measures. But you dont worry it is self limiting disease. Relax and just wait and watch. For any querries consult me privately anytime. Dr.Nitin Jain MBBS.
