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, Ranchi, 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.
