Guest guest Posted January 8, 2001 Report Share Posted January 8, 2001 Hi :0) If they are not open, I find pure lavender applied to the skin has worked for us a few times where nothing else would touch chronic itching. Maybe someone could give you some more help on dilutions, if they are necessary, or try a very small area first? I don't know what the scoop is on using this kind of thing if they are open. Vitamin E is supposed to help with scarring, I would assume especially applied topically. Janice The Sunshine Soap Co. Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi , Our personal protocol for our kids being exposed to Chicken Pox, (this is a " direct " exposure consisting of close contact for more than 1/2 hour, ie. classroom, shared bus seat, playmate in which physical contact occured, etc.) is for us to contact the clinic within 24-96 hours of exposure. If the kids are within 2 weeks of their IVIG infusion, we just wait and see and treat with acyclovir if there is a reason to treat. However if their IVIG infusion is more than 2 weeks they need to go to the clinic or ER for the VZIG (varicella zoster immuneglobulin) shot. Then they are watched carefully for any signs of the chicken pox. The chicken pox typically starts with a cold several days prior to the actual development of the characteristic rash. The rash almost always starts on the belly and then spreads rapidly (usually within a day but sometimes within hours) over the remainder of the body. Many kids have a temp and a some stomach upset, but not all. My neice just had a significant case of chicken pox although she had been vaccinated and her class had 3 cases of them all in vaccinated children. I also wanted to comment on the doctor who wanted to vaccinate even after his severe reaction. We have been told that should NEVER have the varicella vaccine again, and he only developed an abcess at the injection site. They said that there was a good chance he would have a life threatening reaction. I can only think of poor s reactions and cringe at the doctors suggestion! I hope he doesn't have the chicken pox and may God give you strength if he does! Oatmeal baths are MESSY!!!!!!! LOL Take care and God Bless, Mommy to Annette 12 (Selective Antibody Deficiency-IGG 2 and 4, CP, Developmental Delay, g-tube, HIV+, IVIG x 2.5 years), 7 (PID, brain tumor survivor, severe hearing loss, chronic sinus and ear infections, asthma, seizure disorder, IVIG x 6 months, port-a-cath) and Trayvon 4 (Ivemark Syndrome, severe congenital heart defects, asplenia, situs inversus) All wonderful!!!!! <A HREF= " http://www.caringbridge.com/ny/my2angels/ " >Click here: CaringBridge - my2angels</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Maya was exposed to chicken pox unknowingly at nursery. When the nursery were alerted once the spots came out, I kept Maya off nursery for 3 weeks. Other children that were at the nursery same time as Maya got it but she didn`t. We then went to New York for a few days and she coped with the flight quite well. When we got back from New York, chicken pox was rife in our area by this time. I didn`t keep her off nursery as she was quite well at the time and she still didn`t get it. She is due for some blood tests next month, I shall see if they will take some blood to see if she has any antibodies. I asked about antiviral treatment for her but her paediatrician said it wouldn`t be necessary despite her low T cells, helper cells, white blood cells and her neutropenia. Diane, I noticed you mentioned that Kody has epilepy, has he had a MRI scan and if so did it say which lobe is affected. Do you know if it has anything to do with his Di? Maya has lesions in her parietal lobe. I am still waiting for her to have a MRI scan. Carol _________________________________________________________________ On the move?

Here's what I can tell you from our experience. The first couple of days are easy - about 4-5 days into it the rash/fever/discomfort peak. It ends in 7-10 days. Once the bubbles are all scabbed over then your child is safe to go out in public again (even tho he will still look pretty awful). It effects mucus membranes - so your child has the rash in his throat, sinuses, intestinal track, etc. (My daughter with DS first showed the rash near her vaginal area... imagine my concern until I realized what it was!) No wonder he isn't hungry! Most important - DON'T let your child pick at scabs. They will scar! If you can talk your pediatrician into prescibing an antibiotic do it! Of all 3 kids the only one with no residual scars of any kind is (my one with DS) because she was on antibiotics for an ear infection at the same time. DO apply antibiotic lotions liberally. Your pediatrician can also prescribe anti-herpes meds to relieve symptoms - altho it will mean your child is less likely to be permanently immunce. This is less an issue now that there is a vaccine. When we went thru this the vaccine was just being introduced and none of my kids had it. hang in there! - Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 His outbreak will last 10 days to three weeks. he is contagious as long as he has open spots. i went through this three times, thank goodness the last two had the vaccine. They didn't have it before that. They all got them one after the other and my 19 year old, who was only 10 months old at the time, and got them really bad (they mutate from person to person). He had them everywhere and actually had oozing pox. The only saving grace was he was to young to scratch so didn't scar. It will be over soon. I hope the rst of your brood have either had them or been vaccinated. Loree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 As best I can recall, the quarantine time is at least 2 weeks with major symptoms usually clearing in about 5-7 days. At least he'll likely stay immunized for life now, but what a lousy time to have it! Judi Chicken Pox I can't believe I am posting this.......... , who is almost 11 has a bad case of chicken pox. The vaccine doesn't come with a booster - and he was exposed at school 2 weeks ago (they " forgot " to tell me). He had a high fever for two days and according to Katey, she went up stairs yesterday morning for just a minute and when she returned, he was covered in spots. I know two hours earlier he was spot free. He even has them in his mouth. He hasn't eaten in 2 days, but he is drinking and taking his advil and benedryl. So, if any moms can refresh my memory about how long the outbreak will last, please do so. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Hi Kathy, has hundreds of spots - the worse are on his trunk and face. It's funny, when his fever starts up after the advil wears off, he comes and asks for a pill. Benedryl and Advil are working well. From what I have read on the internet, I need to watch him carefully for pneumonia symptoms (though an old post from Len says it's rare). Katey will be watching this week (I pay her) and this will be her first week of watching him all day as opposed to half a day or getting help from TJ. I'm almost glad he's under the weather so she doesn't have her hands full all day long. Katey is really good with him and I won't be worried too much. If he has a bad time with it (so far, benedryl causes his to sleep alot), then Tim or I will stay home with him. Vaccines are not always 100% effective. got the mumps - which will occur in 1% of the vaccinated population IF they are exposed. Wouldn't you know, she was exposed and was that 1%. With the chicken pox vaccine, I read that it's 90% effective. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Scratching isn't the only cause of scarring, though in the case of my own poxy scars it is! Tim has scars all over his back, though they have faded over the years, because they got infected and subsequently caused septacaemia, he didn't scratch any of his spots. The advice about the antibiotic creams sounds a good one to me. I was really concerned about the spots under tims colostomy bag and thought they would get infected, but becoz the tops were regualry pulled off by the gum shield under the bag they stayed infection free, it was the rest that got infected, I have no idea why when he was bathed twice a day but such is life. I would advise anyone who hasn't had their kid vaccinated to get it done, while the pox usually just makes a poor kids really miserable, there are a significant minority like Tim who end up with life threatening problems as a result of it.

For older kids you can give then a bottle of Calamine lotion and swabs that they can dab on the spots (altho apparently you can't give Calamine AND Benedryl at the same time - see below) My kids spents as much time naked as possible during the worst parts. My oldest (then 6) lay down in the back seat of the car wrapped in nothin but a sheet when we had to venture out for errands. Our pediatrician was great... would come out to the car to see the kids so they didn't have to go inside and risk infecting anyone else. for more info: http://www.well-net.com/childrenshealth/chickenpoxinfo-1.html (excerpt) What Can Be Done to Make My Child More Comfortable After Chicken Pox Starts? Give one or more lukewarm baths daily. Add one tablespoon baking soda to each bath to relieve itching. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may be given to relieve itching. This medicine is available without prescription. It should always be used according to the instructions on the product label. Keep fingernails short to prevent scratching. If infection should occur as the result of scratching, consult care provider regarding treatment. Calamine Lotion can help with the itching. If you are already giving your child Benadryl orally, you should not use Caladryl lotion because this lotion also contains diphenhydramine, and your child can absorb this medication through his or her skin, which will add to the effect of whatever diphenhydramine he or she is already receiving by mouth. This can create an overdose. You may use acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) for fever. Read the label of instructions on the exact dosage to be used or consult your child's doctor. Do not use aspirin (salicylic acid). If the viral rash is particularly severe, talk to your child's doctor about the use of Zovirax (acyclovir). This is an antiviral agent which can, in some cases, shorten the course of the illness. It is however, not recommended in all cases of chicken pox, so do not expect that your child's doctor will definitely prescribe it. It is generally used only when chicken pox is quite severe. What Kind of Complications Can We Expected from the Chicken Pox? There are several important complications or problems associated with chicken pox or its treatment. Chicken pox lesions can become infected with staphylococcus or streptococcus bacteria causing a cellulitis or skin infection. While rarely dangerous, this can be painful and frustrating for everyone, especially the child. Characteristic pitted pox-like scars may occur in areas where vesicles were. A rare complication (1 in 1000 cases of chicken pox) is infection of the brain, called encephalitis. Here the child may complain of rapid movements of the eyes, and inability to maintain balance while walking. Severe headache, fever, stiff neck, vomiting, alteration in the child's level of consciousness and even convulsions may also be seen. If there is any question of encephalitis call your child's doctor immediately. Pneumonia, infection of the bone or infections of the throat, scarlet fever and occasionally meningitis can also occur. In past years we have seen a number of episodes of a condition called Reye's Syndrome which results in a comatose child. Initially, this was seen as a complication in children with chicken pox who received aspirin. However, since the use of aspirin in children has ceased, we are no longer seeing cases of this dangerous condition. Herpes zoster or shingles is a long term complication often occurring often as long as 40 to 60 years after the initial chicken pox infection. Chicken pox can cause severe malformations in the unborn fetus if the pregnant mother is exposed during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. See our handout, Chickenpox and Pregnancy.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi I'll respond to my own message because I forgot to add how amazing Kristi is. She never has anything over a day. Yesterday she had some kind of stomach virus or something of that nature that hit her about 9 in the morning. By bed time she was all well. This 12 hour illness was one of her longest ones. Of course, she's also the kid who at 6 got into one of the other kid's medicines and took too much of it--the only effect was that a few minutes later she recited her ABC's for the first time and counted to 20. I can't remember what the prescription was. We really were upset with the pharmacy for not having the usual child proof cap on it. But we also wrote the drug company that made it and asked if it could be marketed as a developmental medicine. They never responded.

My biggest worry with these things is that will develop a bacterial infection in his blood stream. He's been fever free most of the day (without advil) and he finally ate a little bit of food. BTW, I would never leave alone in the hospital, either. I will get people to sit for me for short periods of time.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hi , My son had chicken pox age 11 months and he was quite ill and there was infection involved. Try eosin which is a bright red liquid which dries up the lesions and prevents infection. Unfortunately it is a dye and it doesn't look pretty but it works. My son had another bad infected "chicken pox" episode last year and we used germolene OINTMENT which cleared the infection and it contains local anaesthetic. Best of luck Ann chicken pox has chicken pox - lots of great big ones, hard to keep clean given his affinity with dirt and in this heat he is sweating so they are not scabbing over. Strange thing is he has had 3 suspected cases of chicken pox before but only with a few spots so no one would categorically say it was chicken pox but he still had to stay at home etc. The first suspected case was if memory serves around the time of the MMR!?!, is it possible for a child to harbour a virus like this and not really display all the symptoms? HOpefully it means it is coming out, only recent change on biomed front was changing from biokult to therbio complete (definitely less verbal stimming) and introducing L-carnitine. Any tips on ensuring pox don't get infected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hello , I hope is better very soon. I wondered whether list mates would suggest using anti-virals after it's over.(Or now?) Also, with his raw skin, have you thought of asking at the pharmacy about the advisability of using one of those spray on products called "spray skin" or something similar to prevent the worst areas getting infected? if he's anything like Henry, it's a waste of time using sticking plaster.

I did wonder about anti virals but it is not an area I have delved into yet, but did dip into the posts here.
