free to a good home- Chicken Pox
 

Hiya

Little spiderman has come down with Chicken Pox. They werent so bad at first, now theyre in his eyes, lips, everywhere. He's on calpol and anti-histimine, being doused with calamine lotion, but does anyone else have any tips? Also last night, he hardly slept, dozed for a few hour tossing and turning, but 1.30am was wide awake till dawn

Any concoctions or anything that can help him would be appreciated!!!

He's 3 1/2. Havent seen him sit still for so long before!

Just wanted to say thanks to Emzy as well for all her help. Proper star!

When my little lad got them, they weren't so bad ( thank god ) BUT, I did find sitting him in a cool bath for ages helped!!! I just put loads of toys in the bath, so he wouldn't get bored, and he sat for a good hour/ hour and half .... it seemed to ease it when it was at its worst.



Hope the poor little mite gets better soon.x

chiken pox is something Reece has never had, i think he had measles when he was young but never anything else

Re: free to a good home- Chicken Pox
 

Zack has never had them either!!! Even though I have always tried my hardest to put him near kids that have them ( better to have them young, than when older ) But he refues to catch them :rolleyes: Even when Brad had them.

lol well next time you know someone with them Mel, lets kick Reece and Zack out with to play with them

Re: free to a good home- Chicken Pox
 

Honest, it doesn't work!!! Either he has had them but only mild and we mistook it for a rash, or his body is working over time and just not letting him get them!

The amount of kids he has played with that had them, and he got nothing.

Ty got them on christmas eve a few years ago. oilatum is pretty good, anything for excema should help with the itching.

The cream is called Eurax miles better than cal lotion

Re: free to a good home- Chicken Pox
 

I'll keep that in mind for if Rhys ever gets them, it's just been round at nursery tho and he never got them:rolleyes:

Saffron got them 5 times in total tho from the age of 2-5

Was told she never got a strong enough dose:eek:
