Chicken pox is a viral disease, it takes its own course and then subsides after a week. As such no treatment is required for it, although antihistamines such as tablet avil or levocetrizine for itching and tablet paracetamol 500mg c for fever can be taken for symptomatic relief. If secondary infections occur then immediately show to the nearest physician. Take rest at home, do not go to public places for 7 days.
