I hope your recovery from chickenpox is progressing well. In general, the decision to resume table tennis after recovery depends on a few factors: complete recovery: ensure you have fully recovered from chickenpox. Returning to physical activities too soon can delay healing and increase the risk of complications. Medical clearance: obtain medical clearance from your doctor before resuming intense physical activities like table tennis. They can assess your overall health and guide you on the appropriate timing for a return to sports. Personal comfort: listen to your body. If you still feel fatigued, weak, or have lingering symptoms, it's advisable to delay your return to sports until you are fully back to your baseline health. Contagious period: chickenpox is contagious, and it's important to ensure you are no longer infectious to others before participating in group activities. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your specific health status and recovery progress. If you have any concerns or lingering symptoms, consider discussing them in a private consultation for more tailored guidance. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.

My girlfriend was diagnosed with chicken pox 6 months back and got recovered. I read somewhere that even after recovery, the virus remains in inactive state and may reactivate later (shingles or any other side effects). Will any sort of physical intimacy cause this virus to spread, just a concern if there is any risk. Appreciate guidance on this, thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, understand your concern. Shingles/chicken pox are contagious. However, the zoster virus is contagious only in its active stage. It is non- contagious in dormant stage. Almost every person carries it whoever is infected in their life time. It stays dormant and reactivates at times. Thats the time when it is contagious. Else do not worry, it doesnot harm in anyway. Hope this is clear. For further details, please connect online/in-person.

She might be suffering from neuropathy which is causing her urinary incontinence. Her neuropathy could have been resulted due to poor blood sugar control, varicella infection in the past, b12 deficiency due to medicines, etc. Needs to rule out the cause of her problem and her treatment will be based on that.

Acyclovir800 four times a day after food for ten days at least. Zerodol sp three times a day after food for five days. Montex lc. Acyclovir ointment on blister n scab. It is a contagious disease be careful. Use of neem leaf a bunch to control itch is best. If want to bath use neem water in normal water. Be quick to bath. Not to rub, soak after bath.

You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh, not from readymade gels available in market) on your face. Remove skin of an aloe vera leaf. Take/scoop out gel. Apply this gel to your face skin. Wash with plain water after an hour.

Watch for for fluid filled vescules and rash in chicken pox usually rash appears on third day of fever. If they do immediately contact me or any medico for treatment. It is chickenpox vaccination doesn't guarantee protection. It only enhance immunity and reduce chances of infection and even more reduce chances of severe disease. So even if you get infected you will only develop mild disease. Take tab limcee od it enhances immunity.

It is not proper to get prescription for infective skin disease online. At least an image sent helps in correct diagnosis. You should consult your local doctor for inspection, clinical examination, proper diagnosis and you will be advised to take proper rest. Avoid public contact so that it is not spread. Take adequate liquid, normal food. Normally antiviral tablets like acyclovir tablets are given for about a week. Tablets for itching, tablets for bacterial infection if present. Do as advised. There should be no problem.

Rash is characteristic of chickenpox. And usually main feature leading to diagnosis. Only other way to diagnosis is a case of fever and get tested in laboratory.
