11 Homeopathic Medicines – Chickenpox and Shingles

Chickenpox is usually a milder illness that affects children. Shingles results from a reactivation of the virus long after the chickenpox illness has disappeared.

Symptoms of chickenpox

The itchy blister rash caused by chickenpox infection appears 10 to 21 days after exposure to the virus and usually lasts about five to 10 days. Other signs and symptoms, which may appear one to two days before the rash, include:

• Fever
• Loss of appetite
• Headache
• Tiredness and a general feeling of being unwell (malaise)

Symptoms of shingles

Shingles symptoms usually affect only a small section on one side of your body. These symptoms may include:

• Pain, burning or tingling
• Sensitivity to touch
• A red rash that begins a few days after the pain
• Fluid-filled blisters that break open and crust over
• Itching

Once the chickenpox rash appears, it goes through three phases:

• Raised pink or red bumps (papules), which break out over several days
• Small fluid-filled blisters (vesicles), which form in about one day and then break and leak
• Crusts and scabs, which cover the broken blisters and take several more days to heal
