About Chickenpox Treatment

Are you or your child dealing with an itchy rash, fever, and fatigue? You may have chickenpox—a highly contagious viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Though often mild, chickenpox can lead to complications like pneumonia, skin infections, and encephalitis if not treated properly.

At Paras Hospital, Kanpur, we provide specialized chickenpox care for children, adults, and immunocompromised patients. Whether it’s your first infection or a case of shingles (herpes zoster) due to reactivation, our experts ensure you get timely and appropriate treatment.

What is Chickenpox?

Chickenpox (varicella) presents with:

  • Red, itchy rash that develops into fluid-filled blisters

  • High fever and fatigue

  • Loss of appetite

  • Headache and body aches

  • Skin crusting and peeling

Symptoms appear 10–21 days after exposure and usually last 5–7 days. Children recover faster, but adults may experience more severe symptoms and risks.

Chickenpox Treatment Options at Paras Hospital

Antiviral Medications

For moderate to severe chickenpox, especially in adults or high-risk patients, we prescribe antiviral drugs like acyclovir to reduce duration and severity.

Symptomatic Care

We manage itching, fever, and dehydration with:

  • Paracetamol (fever reducer)

  • Calamine lotion and antihistamines (itch relief)

  • IV fluids in severe cases

Infection Control

Our team provides hygiene guidance to prevent blister infection and advises on isolation protocols to reduce spread, especially in households and schools.

Specialized Care for High-Risk Groups

We offer enhanced care for:

  • Pregnant women with chickenpox

  • Immunocompromised individuals

  • Newborns and elderly patients

  • Complicated or secondary bacterial infections

Who Should Seek Chickenpox Treatment?

Visit a doctor at Paras Hospital if:

  • You or your child have fever with itchy rash or blisters

  • The blisters are spreading or getting infected

  • You’re an adult with chickenpox symptoms

  • You are pregnant or immunosuppressed and exposed to chickenpox

  • You need guidance on preventing scar formation or complications

What to Expect During Treatment

After a clinical evaluation or chickenpox diagnosis, we begin:

  • Oral antiviral medications (if needed)
