Question: am really anxious!!!


Answers: am really anxious!!!

Due to the incubation period before the chickenpox become evident (around 2 weeks), your little one has already been exposed to it. Theres nothing you can do as its an airbourne virus. Just stock up on the calamine lotion. Once youve had it its unlikely you will get it again. x

Actually,it wouldnt be so bad if they did catch it. It's a common disease to have amongst children and once treated, the likelihood of reinfection is very very low because of the built up resistance.

The older you get, the deadlier the disease can be.

not much at all, the best thing is to get all the kids in the family infected and there should be no re-infection,the whole family should be imune. old fashioned but it works.

Keep washing your hands all day to avoid spreading germs.

you may already infected him.
