Hi,
chicken pox, when started to develop has not much of treatment.
Treatment is mostly focused on what trouble is he having with the same.
For itching I advice calamine lotion after bathing with warm saline water 4 times or 2 times daily.
Always hydrate with 2-3 litres of water.
Avoid oily foods.
Always go for porridge and steamed vegetables.
Get rest and sunlight.
I hope this helps.
Thankyou.
