There are no medications which work for prevention of chicken pox once contact has already taken place. Chicken pox vaccine is available normally given at age of 1 year. And booster dose at 10 years. Or any age. But in present case may not work as viral transmission has already taken place. Those who have 1. Taken this vaccine in childhood and a booster dose and 2. Those who had already got chicken pox earlier will not get chicken pox again.

If chicken pox is confirmed by a clinician, you should have lot of fluid intake. Maintain good personal hygiene by regular bath etc. Avoid direct contact with people because it spreads to others who had no chicken pox anytime in the past or have not received its vaccine. Since chicken pox is likely to be severe and troublesome when occurred in adulthood it is better to consult a physician for proper medication like a course of antiviral medications and tablets for prevalent complaints.
