“My eldest child, from my first marriage, had it many years ago and it was such a battle to keep him relaxed and not scratching. When my two little girl,s from my current marriage, came home from school with it I was terrified that I was going to go through the same thing again -  twice over. Someone at their school recommended your Chikkie Drops and they helped such a lot. It was much easier to keep them peaceful and the Chikkie Spot Soother also really helped with the itching. Within a week they were much better and the best part is they have no scars either!” Grateful Mom, TX

Information on Chicken Pox in Children

In compliance with Health Department regulations, Feelgood Health does not make any claims that its products, including Chikkie Spot Drops, are intended to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent any disease. Please note that this information is offered for educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical attention.

What is Chicken Pox and how is it spread?

Chicken pox is a highly contagious childhood disease that is caused by the Varicella Zoster virus, a member of the Herpes virus family. Very few children escape chicken pox infection but those that do may catch it later in life as an adult. Chicken pox in childhood is usually relatively mild, but tends to be more severe in adulthood.

The chicken pox virus is easily spread either directly, through contact with the spots, or through the air by coughing, sneezing, laughing and even talking. Once your child has contracted the virus it can take anywhere from 7-21 days before the spots appear.

One attack of chicken pox usually gives your child lifelong immunity. Children rarely have a second round of chicken pox, but if it does occur, the attacks are usually very mild.  

How do I know if my child has Chicken Pox?

While some children have no symptoms prior to the characteristic spots appearing, others may complain of feeling ill or may have a fever for a day or two beforehand. It is important to note that any child with chicken pox is contagious from about 2 days before the rash appears until all the spots have crusted or scabbed over.

The signs and symptoms that your child may be coming down with chicken pox are much like those for any viral illness and include the following:

·         Headache

·         Fatigue

·         Loss of appetite

·         Moderate fever

·         Achiness

A day or two after these symptoms appear the infected child will come out in the rash. The characteristics of chicken pox spots are as follows:

·         Initially flat, red splotchy dots, no bigger than a pencil eraser, appear

·         The rash usually starts on the chest, stomach and back and then spreads a day or so later to the face, scalp and the rest of the body. The rash is very rarely seen on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet

·         Within a few hours these red spots turn into tiny blisters that are extremely itchy

·         As the blisters are scratched they ‘pop’ and the fluid (serum) that leaks out of them forms a crust. This fluid is full of the virus and is highly contagious.

·         As new spots can keep coming out for the next 2-6 days you will often see new red spots alongside older, crusted blisters. This is very characteristic of chicken pox.

·         The number of spots depends on the severity of the infection. Some children can be covered in spots, even inside the mouth and in the genital region, and others will only have a few spots.

How long will it take for my child to recover from Chicken Pox?

Most children recover from chicken pox uneventfully in less than two weeks. Remember, your child is infective from 1-2 days prior to the rash appearing until all the spots have crusted over and dried out.

The more intimate and more frequent the exposure to chickenpox, the more severe the infection will be. This fact has very important implications, especially if you have more than one child. Children in different stages of the disease should be separated to minimize their exposure to each other. With minimal exposure, the second child to become ill is likely to have a less severe case of chicken pox, with less discomfort.

The biggest problem parents face with chicken pox is infected blisters. The spots are extremely itchy and it is very difficult not to scratch. Once the blisters are scratched open secondary bacterial infection can occur and this, combined with picking off the scabs, is what usually leads to scarring.

What can I do to help my child with Chicken Pox?

Most treatment today can do very little for chicken pox and the few agents that are available tend to have severe side effects. Natural remedies can help by calming your child and boosting the immune system’s response. The less anxious and irritable your little one is, the more likely they are to scratch as little as possible.

Try some of these simple home techniques to ease your child’s discomfort:

·         Keep your child occupied with games or activities to take their mind off the itch

·         Regular cool baths, without soap, are very soothing. Pat, do not rub, your child dry

·         Half a cup of oatmeal or baking soda added to bathwater helps to relieve the itch

·         Dip a washcloth in cool water and place over the itchy area

·         Trim fingernails and wash hands regularly in antiseptic soap to prevent infection.

·         Cover the hands of infants with cotton socks if they are scratching

·         Keep your child cool and calm – heat and sweating worsen the itch

·         Keep your child out of the sun – sun exposed skin develops extra blisters

·         Give your child soft foods and fluids if there are blisters in the mouth. Avoid citrus and acid foods as they will sting

·         Prepare simple, clean, whole-foods that are high in vitamins and minerals

·         Offer plenty of fluids to ensure that your child remains well hydrated

·         Frozen fruit-juice popsicles are very popular – they are soothing and help your child to take in some fluids and vitamins

·         Gargling with salt water (1/4 teaspoon salt to 4 ounces water) will help relieve itchy blisters in the mouth

·         Keep children who have chickenpox separated from each other. This can mean a milder case for the second child who comes down with the disease.

·         Give your child lots of TLC and reassure him/her that the ‘bumps’ are not serious and will go away in a week or so

When should I worry?

Complications of chicken pox are generally rare and in most children the illness resolves within two weeks. Children with a decreased immune system, eg due to illness or medication, are at a higher risk of complications including encephalitis (an inflammation of the brain), meningitis (inflammation of the brain linings) or pneumonia.

Consult your health care provider if your child exhibits any of the following:

·         A fever higher than103°F on any one occasion, or higher than 102°F for two days

·         Any of the scabs are red, oozing pus or bleeding

Seek emergency care if your child exhibits any of the following:

·         Severe headache, stiff neck, seizures, abnormal behavior and/or continuous vomiting

·         Hard to wake, confused or having difficulty breathing

·         Is taking any medication that lowers the immune system, or has cancer

Remember, most cases of chicken pox are usually relatively mild and resolve with self care at home. The best thing you can do is show your child plenty of love, keep them calm and relaxed and do all that you can to help the itchiness and stop the scratching.
