Ok if you have a bad case of the chicken pox what can you do to cure it?

You can't cure it but you can apply calamine lotion (it is in a pink bottle and the lotion is pink). The lotion should help out and it also helps when you have came into contact with poison ivy.

Antibiotics are the only way. Go see the doc before it gets serious. It can, I had to go to the hospital because of one that I didn't care for in time.

This is the truth.  If you had chicken pox....after the rash heals, the varicella virus lays dormant in your body.  It will be there the rest of your life.  IF you get shingles, it is from the dormant virus--you didn't "catch" it from anyone.  And you are ONLY contagious to a person who has NEVER had chicken pox, which means you could give them chicken pox.....NOT shingles.  So, yes...it's true... You cannot get SHINGLES if you never had chicken pox.....but you can still get chicken pox at anytime in your life if you come in contact with it or shingles. \n\nOK?

I use the good old fashion home made chicken soup.  I boil my free range chicken.  Use the broth, add my celery, carrotts and onion - add the shredded chicken and I'm telling you.  It ALWAYS makes my colds better.  Also, Lemon water and honey is also a great way to get your liquids and rid the body of toxins.  I swear by it.

I had chicken pox(yes, confirmed by Doc, not shingles) when I was 23. It started out with feeling unwell then turned into pleurisy(inflammation of the lining of the lungs)and I whistled like a tea kettle and could not inhale deeply without doubling over.The next day the spots appeared. My sons were 1 and 4 at the time and I gave it to them. It lasted for weeks and I had to go to the doctors every other day so he could make sure I did not get pneumonia. I had them on my palms, my soles of my feet, even my gums!(couldn't brush because they'd pop and spread.) I laid on the couch sick as a dog for 2 weeks until the baby got them too.He was relentless because every time I would lay down he would come pick my spots.I have 3 scars on my face from him. We laugh about this now that he's 11 but it wasn't fun at the time.

Take baths in soda water. The chickenpox will run its corse and there is nothing that you can do to make them stop. Baking soda brings them out sooner than if you do not use it.

I strongly recommend talking to your doctor and getting a chest xray to rule out pneumonia.  Being as you had a cold which is primarily an upper respritory disease, if it suddenly relapsed into a stronger virus (and being as your immunities are already down) it could turn into any number of things quickly.  Also, bulk up on your vitamin C and zinc.  Both will help you feel better faster.  The primary thing, listen to your body.  Sounds like you are worn down from all of this and are in serious need of rest.  And dont forget the old standard of homemade chicken soup.  Not the canned stuff.  Homemade chicken soup has so many vitamins and nutrients in it that its not funny and its also a comfort food.  Hope you feel better soon.

Hi there. Here is some info on chicken pox I give to my patients.\n\nChicken pox is one of the most common infectious diseases of childhood and is highly contagious. It is easily recognised by its distinctive rash.\n\nSymptoms\nChicken pox occurs most frequently in children under 9 years old, and is characterised by symptoms such as:\n\nA very itchy, spotty rash that spreads from the torso to the limbs\n\nThe rash advances from these red spots to raised pimples and then into fluid-filled blisters which eventually drain and form a crust (scab)\n\nHeadache, high fever and chills may occur at the same time or may slightly precede the rash\n\nUsually runs its course in two weeks, although may be more serious in adults and new born babies\n\n\nCauses\nChicken pox is caused by the herpes zoster virus.\n\nIt is spread by droplets from a sneeze or cough, or by contact with the clothing, bed linen, or oozing blisters of an infected person.\n\n\nThe time between infection and commencement of symptoms averages from 13 to 18 days but can take as long as 21 days; the disease is most contagious a day before the rash appears and up to 7 days after, or until the rash forms scabs. \n\n\nPeople who have had chickenpox almost always develop lifetime immunity to the condition, but the virus often remains dormant in the body and may sometimes recur as shingles later in life. Although some infants may have partial immunity in the first six months of life, all infants must be considered to be susceptible to the disease from birth. (Ref Merck Index and Funk and Wagnall family medical guide)\n\nNatural Therapies\nMild cases may require only symptomatic treatment to relieve the itching and prevent scratching. Frequent bathing with soap and water is helpful, especially when emollient liquids to soothe the itch are added to the bath water.\n\n\nA little diluted tea tree oil dabbed on a scratched blister can help prevent infection\n\nThe herb echinacea may be indicated to support the immune system in fighting the infection, especially if taken in combination with the antioxidant nutrients betacarotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc\n\nImportant Notes\nIf you are pregnant, it is important that you avoid contact with anyone who may have chicken pox.\nConsult your healthcare professional if \n\n\nYou think your child has chicken pox\n\nThe rash produces a greenish discharge\n\nYour child is recovering from chicken pox and begins running a fever, vomiting, or has convulsions\n\nAn adult family member gets chicken pox\n\n\nPrevention\nChicken pox is extremely contagious. Keep your child home until most of the vesicles are dry and the scabs have fallen off. Avoid contact with children and adults infected with chicken pox in order to avoid catching it yourself.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCraig - naturopath.

Use desinfectant or hot water. If you mean killing a virus in your body there is no cure for any viral disease.

your cabin fever does not entitle you to expose the members of the public to this disease.  Chickenpox can have severe effects on adults, and elderly people.  You are responsible to keep him home until he is COMPLETELY well, not "on the road to recovery".  \n\nYou can let him run around in your back yard away from other people.  Get used to having to stay in when a child is sick.  This is not likely to be the last time it is needed.

All my 4 kids have had it and anti itching creams and lotions did not work for any of them. What seemed to work best, was to take off as much of their clothes as possible: the warmer/sweatier they were, the more pox they got. What worked wonders for my youngest daughter was this syrup she took on doctor's prescription and ever so slightly numbed the nerve ends and therefor made her less itchy (I'm really sorry, I can't remember the name...). It made her a bit sleepy too, which was actually not too bad: the more they sleep, the quicker the body gets better!\nBy the way, my doctor did not want me to rub anything on the chickenpox, lotion or cream: according to her it made the chance of (mild) infections bigger, with the result not only that the skin is more irritated and itchier, but also  a much bigger chance of scars......
