Health Tip: Coping With Chickenpox

Advert

(HealthDay News) -- What can you do if you get chickenpox -- besides scratch?

The American Academy of Family Physicians suggests:

Keep the room cool, as heat can make itchy skin worse. Put a cool, damp compress on the itchiest spots.

Keep fingernails trimmed short so you don't break the skin if you do scratch.

Soak in a lukewarm oatmeal bath.

Apply calamine lotion.
