Chicken Pox Help

[Caroline]

Poor Alisha has the dreaded chicken pox.
She doesn't seem to be itchy but is complaining of it hurting especially her legs.

I am dosing her up with Calpol& Piriton but it doesn't seem to be working.

Wondering wheter it would be a good idea to try and bath her in Sodium Biicarb, just worried the water will make it hurt more.

Any ideas, its so distressing. I just got her back to bed. She woke up to go toilet and was crying 'cos it hurt so much.

I haven't got children of my own but work in a nursery. i would recommend you but calamine lotion on her pox as that is supposed to soothe them.
Hope this helps

My mom swears by oatmeal baths to help with chicken pox

hanks girls she seems a bit better today, they're not hurting now, she just says now she wants them to go away.

Bathed her bicarbonate of soda tonite and that seems to have helped.
