Having chickenpox will leave you or your child feeling uncomfortable but there are a few at-home treatments that can help relieve the symptoms: - Use paracetamol to relieve fever and discomfort – make sure you use age-appropriate products such as Calpol for children, and do not exceed stated dosage - Use moisturising creams to ease itching - Do not scratch the skin – instead tap or pat – scratching can lead to further problems - Stay hydrated – drink plenty of fluids
