Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
Chicken pox is caused by a virus. Symptoms usual-
ly occur 1-3 weeks after exposure to the virus. It's
highly contagious and is spread via coughs and
sneezes and scratching the blisters. Once the blis-
ters have driod up, there Is no further risk of
spreading the Infection.
To help reduce the Itch of chicken pox, use anti -itching products like cal-
amine lotion, wet compresses and daily bathing with soap and water to
keep the rash clean. Discourage scratching and prevent scarring and
spreading the Infection through the use of gloves on the child's hands.
Travelling to a warm climate this winter? Pepto-Bismol Is still useful in
preventing traveller's diarrhea. Routinely take two tablets 4 x daily with
meals and at bedtime each day while away.
By the way, Pepto-Bismol contains salicylates (like ASA) and should not
be used for nausea In children with chicken pox or other viral infections.
Those medications you can buy without a prescription can still cause
problems. Ask your pharmacist for advice In making the right choice.
