Severe Chickenpox



I am a one who is a sure of all the vaccinations that children are required to take. With the case of Chicken Pox I do think that all babies should get vaccinated. Chicken Pox is a virus also known as varicella zoster virus (VZV), which is highly contagious as everyone knows. I did the same with my master boy dhyey, we had an appointment for chickenpox vaccine on first week of July, it was long delayed as dhyey was suffering from pneumonia and other skin infections, so it was compulsion to give it after all things get cleared. And finally we got appointment on first week of july, but we were unsuccessful in it. dhyey has come down with chicken pox on 30th June. he was covered in huge blisters for more than 25 days, even Dhyey's Ped. dr.Vijay Viswanathan was surprised to see that puss filled pox in huge numbers, and added that he had never seen such pox in his history. I did not like the feeling of not understanding what was going on, I surfed about this virus, and asked questions concerning how different people sorted it out and I could get a better grasp on the answer. All that I could is kept him cool and applied calamine lotion as often as needed. Dhyey’s dr. has given him Atarex to quell the itching. All together dermatologists cured him as well. More I cant write down here, and I don’t want to recall those terrible moments again, I just want to share some photos here.
After 10 days of Pox:
