u may have gotten it young.... use that mask. virus is air-borne. then again, you've already been exposed few days before symptoms onset...

keep those fingers crossed. :xedfingers:

Happyheart, :hugs: sorry to hear everyone else in the family is down with the pox. U hang in there. I kenna it already when i was in primary school just trying to show my best friend some love after she returned from her two weeks' mc. Yup, I learnt then that it doesn't clear according to the medical cert clearance date and likewise for HFMD. Must really dry up so I keep my kids at home few days and depending on their condition (even for other firms of illnesses), at times up to a week after the date indicated on mc to avoid other children getting the virus. Esp for my DD1, she has lower immunity. She can easily catch viruses from others if she had not fully recovered from something she was down with for example a flu or fever. She has always been one sick chicken. Asthmatic.. eczemic.. allergic.. :faint: Not easy, but definitely better managed now that she's older.


Calamine does help cool the skin to prevent from extreme itching. The water or pus from the blister-pox that seeps into/under the fingernails can grow more pops there! That was the proof of my blatant denial - that I did not scratch; every time my mumsie reminded me not to. \"Yes mom, I never scratched it at all!\"

As for vaccination, almost everyone I know who had the flu vacc, caught the flu either that very day or the day after.

I learnt a trick from the days I got chicken pox. If can't stand the extreme itching, scratch those on the head! Nobody can see the scars 'cos covered by hair :evil:

But blisters under fingernails? :scared:

So scary.

Can request to stay in hospital under induced coma? cant feel the itch, no scratching :xedfingers:

[buds]

I got some in those nails from scratching fervently like a sordid monkey!


:dowan:

Temptations they call it...
Are hard to resist.

So when one gets the chance, one goes all out....
In my case, scratching.

Not me lah. It was buds who got blisters under fingernails. I guess her mom didn't need to tell her not to scratch anymore afer buds got blisters under her fingernails :rotflmao:

I have never heard anybody go hospital because of chicken pox :?

[buds]

Unless mebbe if really high fever that accompanied the pox perhaps may require hospitalization. My Daddie had the ice bath when he had measles.
