Question

how to deal with children with chicken pox?

Answer 1

Benadryl at night will help with the itching and also help them sleep. A benadryl cream is also helpful. I gave each of my children their own tube, and told them anytime they itched, to rub it on instead of scratching.

Keep fingernails short, and baby them. Let them sleep late, let them lay around all day. They are sick!! And you do live through it, and only get it once.

Answer 2

Aveeno baths are great and advil for inflamation and fever. They also have aveeno creams for pox.

Answer 3

Aveeno oatmeal baths are the best, they dry out the lumps and releive itching.

Answer 4

Oatmeal baths work really well. Followed by aveeno lotion and coritzone anit-itch cream.

Answer 5
