Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I wouldn't do anything about him. If he gets them, he gets them. If it's true CP, you want him to get them anyway. You can use homeopathic meds for it. What I would do, if you haven't already, is ask the nurse if the kid who has them has been vaccinated. If she doesn't answer, you know he/she was. Then tell the nurse you assume she'll be calling all families to warn them the vaccine isn't working and they're all at risk. But I wouldn't try to prevent him from getting them.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Send him to school as usual. If he gets it- consider yourselves lucky- he will be immune and safe from cathcing it when he is older -that is when there is a slight possiblity of cp getting a little more dangerous.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 the only thing is we don't know that getting them from someone who is vaccinated (vaccine-strain variety) is the same as getting it naturally but nowadays, who knows where you can get a natural case, if indeed they are catching and I'm not sure we catch things either.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've been trying to expose my boys to chicken pox for years! Whenever I hear of a case, I find out their number and call them up for a play date I'd much rather them have it naturally now while they are young. Chicken pox in an otherwise healthy child should present no complications, although my child's pediatrician will argue with me on that! From what I've read the 2nd child in a home usually gets a more pronounced case from continuous exposure from a sibling verses a random exposure outside the home. I don't know all the facts on that as I'm still just trying to find more kids to expose mine too. I do have a suspicion that both my boys may have had a mild, subclinical case of it. Both had a few, non-descript pimply bumps, and were cranky around 3 weeks after the first exposure (I've exposed them 3 times). I'm not sure if it was just wishful thinking or nothing at all. I will have a titer taken on them when they are older. My youngest was 18 months during that exposure and I was nursing him at the time so he may have been protected anyways. If your child does get it, Aveeno has an oatmeal bath and anti-itch cream. Others may know of better, more holistic products. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've also read that. A vaccine strain is different from a wild strain. You want to catch them from a child who hasn't been vaccinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I thought you only " caught " it or " got " it if your body needed it and I was wondering the same thing about getting laboratory " chicken pox " (pox from a kid who was vaccinated). Would that even give you true immunity? > > Yes, I found that to be true about the siblings getting it worse. My older three all had it within two weeks.My oldest had maybe 200 pox, the next had about 500. My third had so many I couldn't count them. They were everywhere, and I mean everywhere (poor diapered little guy!). I was nursing him, too--he was almost two years old at the time. > > I used homeopathic Rhus Tox on them all, and the itching went away. > > Winnie > > > > Re: Chicken Pox In School > Vaccinations > > > I've been trying to expose my boys to chicken pox for years! > > Whenever I hear of a case, I find out their number and call them > > up for a play date I'd much rather them have it naturally now > > while they are young.
