@@kralicm-den-kralimThere is no specific treatment, it will get better in 7 days. Just apply calamine lotion to reduce itching, and for fever, take Panadol

I got it today and it is soooo itchy but the symptoms I had before the red spots appeared were way worse (headaches, fevers, tiredness)but after they appeared it is only itching.
Edit:it took about two weeks for the pain to go away and the spots on my body still didn’t go and the ones on my face are barely noticeable
I have a severe case of chicken pox at age 33. Im on day 2, im in pain, i just wish i.can scratch them
At 34 and its my day 3 now. The itch is driving me crazy !
Can't thank you enough doc because everything you told me happened as you said I did exactly everything you said I should do while talking your herbal med I must say Because am full of excitement am free from Genital Herpes thank you #DoctorOrias.....
My 22yrs old son is in day 3 today doctor prescribe to take acyclovir -400 in 7days 4x a day
I'm 19 and I got it 4 days ago but I didn't get my prescription until yesterday(3rd day) currently it's growing so much on my scalp and face which is a nightmare.
How many days it get to stop
Did it get better?
I got vaccinated when I was young but still got it at 32 yrs old but I think it's not too severe. I'm still observing it.
I have chicken pox but I'm a kid and I don't scratch it too much
35 yrs day 6, yhe itch is super real. The sore throat I've gained along with it tho, is insane, literally like swallowing blades
I got my chickenpox on my 25 years , but on the first day, i just got headache but able to move without difficulty. I thought it's just a common headache as i didn't sleep and prepared material for presentation. I even make a good presentation that day, as i didn't know I actually got chickenpox. Later on that night, i realize i got chicken pox as suddenly my body full of red dot rash and i feel so itchy. And i realize my head also full of small pimple. One week before that, my 5 year old little got chickenpox, and had similar symptom. Hence i realize that i got chickenpox from her. Fortunely, on my 4th day, the itchy finally gone and all of the pimple / rash become smaller and i no longer feel the pain when i touch it.
I'm 23 and I'm suffering from chicken pox since the last three days.
How was your scars on the aftermath? Genuinely asking from a person who's suffering from a chicken pox
Were you having lymph nodes?
@@priyanshsinha934 nope.
@@Cedrick0902 i only have one scar on my left thigh, and it so small like a pimple size. It's left scar bcuz during the itchy period, i keep scratching there until it wounded. But fortunately my other chicken pox rash didn't left any scar. But my skin really heal faster since child, i didn't even have a scar even my skin burn from boiling water when i'm 11 years old , the new skin also immediately appear within a week. Even after my palm having enzema, it didn't leave any scar at all.
is chicken pox cause lymph nodes
At 40 now I finally have it, Day 2
I got Chicken Pox at 45 years old, it was brutal
Bro same as me,I got it now when I am 43.
Day 4 age 20
I’m 28 AND I’ve got them all over me atm! I can’t even bare to walk the weakness in my legs. Did anyone have a cough too? Because I got a cough and my chest is hurting… scared for phuenominia
Same boat, I'm 27! Husband and I both had upper respiratory infections 2 weeks ago and we also moved houses during that time. Now I woke up with red spots that look like mosquito bites all over my arms and legs. I thought the weakness in my body was just from the move, and I thought the cough and runny nose were just leftover from the URI. I took benedryl thinking they might be hives but it didnt help at all. But now I'm thinking it may be chickenpox? No idea what to do. Supposed to have Easter dinner with my family. It's looking like I may be spending Easter at the walk-in clinic. I had the vaccine when I was a kid, but ironically I have needle phobia, so I'm praying they don't need a blood sample because in all of my 27 years I've never been able to get a blood draw, even with tranquilizers/sedatives.
Its my 4th day of this. It was hell. I dont want to keep lying down but my body just want to. I feel so dizzy even laying down and my eyes keep shutting down. I just threw up earlier. The chicken pox had gotten to my tongue and gums which transformed into canker sores and i can barely chew and swallow (idk why my throat even hurts😢) my lungs also feels heavy. Im so scared.I think chicken pox on adults are more dangerous (im22). Also mine arent itchy,instead they hurt
I have dry cough.
@@PyramidsofGiza369so what had you done for painfull throat ?

@@sirneokuki are you taking any medicines ?
@@julkarnainadnan6885 today i went to the pharmacy and they gave me Asnim-P (nimesulide¶cetamol tablets)
@@sirneokuki it's my day 3, a am sacred as fuck, are scars un avoidable in chicken pox?
I got chicken pox yesterday, but I had stiff neck and cough from 4 days. I started anti viral last night when o saw a doctor online. I have not gone to the hospital yet.Can it be serious?
Hello. How are you doing after 10 days?
I have just got over covid for the 1st time and chicken pox as a 35 year old was hands down worse and went on much longer. If you're really suffering now, then my one god send was camomile baths. I used to have them sometimes at 2am if the painful itching got too much, which it frequently did. Also be aware that the spots don't just grow on the outside they are growing on your internal organs, which makes it difficult to breathe and forget moving about.
Day 3 for me, it's a horror story!!! 32 years old
Day 3 for me. >_
You ok now?
@Search Avesh me it's my 2nd day my hair so itchy

My husband died because of chicenpox it take him only 5days
O my god its 2nd day and my body is already burning 🥵
41 yrs old.. day 2.. i look like shit now.
How are you now
I had it twice as a kid and once as an adult and that's with the jab
I got it twice as a kid. Doctors were saying it wasn’t possible to get it more than once, but I definitely did.
I got chicken pox at 17 tge itch drove me crazy so i caught a genius idea and took a hot bath. 1 day later seems over night i woke up with more spots than a leopard. And itchier than ever so id advise just doing bird baths in they key stinky spots only. 😮💨
Day 8 at the age of 33😢
I'm 28 it's my 1st day having chicken pox 😭😭
I recommend to you, take shower 6 or 3 time a day for fast recovery, its work mine
@@user-zl5dr3xj2i normally or with like cold water or warm water
I’ve never had chickenpox before and I’m 18
I am 19 and i got it today 🥲
Im 18 and i got it and i fucking can’t even walk
@@flux_trades_pro why bro😂 Chicken pox just give rashes and severe itching.Maybe you have another disease
@@muneebjatt2004 Nah he is right, I had it when I was 35. you can't walk because you run out of breath, I had to walk up some stairs to see my doctor and nearly passed out. The basic symptoms you describe are the ones you get when you have it when you're super young
@@smilingbuddha536 you are 35 bro means weak imune system and also other disease that comes with age.He is 18 and I am 19.Person in 18 cant walk just Because of chicken pox😂He may have other problem
I wish to die over This hell😢
Welcome to hell its the fourth day for me
How many days it took to recover?
𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕠𝕤𝕞 🤦
Role of doctor is to prevent disease rather than curability. After watching i was more scared as if its not chicken pox but cancer. Dont explain in such maanner
Dealing with it right now. At 26 years years old 🥲
Same here
@@ujwal22 I just recovered last week but had no itching. Is that possible??
@Ugo Respect you are not a human 😂wtf
@Icetrip I heard someone say there might be a non itchy strain don't know how true it is.....another reason for me not feeling itchy might be because I started taking antihistamines as I thought I was allergic to something initially
Same here
