Precaution to take
My doctor confirmed that I'm suffering from chicken pox after hearing that I was devastated & couldn't ask him much more questions.
I need some clarification on below:
1. Can I take bath as usual if I don't have fever?
2. Is there any problem in having salt during this time?
3. Is it okay if I take medications or should it go naturally?
4. And what type of foods are advised to have?

Thanks for the query.
You can take bath and have salt. Most of them resolve without leaving marks and scars if appropriate therapy (Usually Aciclovir â an antiviral drug) was started in the golden period (within 3 days of having chicken pox). There's no point starting the drug later.
