Chickenpox is going around again! Please remember NOT to give your children nurofen/ibuprofen if you think your child has it. This type of medicine is an anti-inflammatory. It reacts with the chickenpox making them go deeper into the skin tissue, potentially causing a more severe secondary infection.
Better options: 👶Paracetamol for fever 👶Calamine Lotion for the itch 👶Keep your child hydrated
Always seek medical advice.
