Chicken pox infection
Hi doctor, I had physical contact with my husband and the next morning he woke up with a blister on his shoulders. He got diagnosed with chicken pox. As I had physical contact with him, I know I am exposed to the virus. It's been 5 days,since he is affected. Is there any medicines that I can take before the symptoms arise in me?
