Well looks like DS is well on his way to recovery. Much perkier today-in fact back to being a little dynamo-& I haven't seen him scratch once. All the pox are crusted over & starting to fade-he only had about 30 in total. Mostly on his back, a few on the tummy, one or two on the face, neck & groin. He also slept well last night.
I can't believe how easy we got off on the chicken pox front. Well that wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be!
Alia had about 50+ spots just on her tummy, poor thing was covered head to toe! & quite sick for a couple of days, funnily she had them when we were in Auck!
Pinetarsol in the bath & hypercal cream rubbed all over worked for her.
Calamine lotion actually dries them out & can make them itchier I think??
I am concidering the vax for Cooper as it's just so unfair on them. They vax against it for free in Oz.
Yep definitely better to get it young.
The vaccination actually isn't that effective and for those of you planning to get your kids jabbed may I suggest taking yourself along to some pox parties? The most effective way to prevent shingles in later life (if you have had chicken pox, which I would say most people have) is exposure to chicken pox.
