You may get chickenpox from touching the fluids from a chickenpox blister, or if someone with the disease coughs or sneezes near you. A person with chickenpox become contagious 1 to 2 days before their blisters appear and lasts until all the blisters have crusted over.

In the end, time is the only thing that fully cures it. Ways to help make illness more comfortable: calamine lotion oatmeal or warm baths Bland food if pox are in the mouth NEVER USE ASPRIN!: Use of aspirin while having chicken pox has been associated with a serious condition called Reyes Syndrome.
