Top Questions on Treating Chickenpox

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.

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.
