see chinese sinseh for herbs...
according to TCM, they'll "cool" you down and speed up healing..
p.s. forgot to mention.. it worked for me.. 9 days and all blisters were gone.. -
rule lumber one
DO NOT SCRATCH -
Eat more duck to neutralise the chicken.

I rmbr my late mummy said, dun drink those Liang stuffs 1st. let all the pox out first. then drink barley n Liang Teh to subside them. or it will "visit" you again if it doesn't "come" out all.
good lucks, oh ya! most imptly as what earlier mate wrote ....don't scractch. i hv leave few marking on face now....eeeeeeeeeeeeee. -
water chestnut drink!! That was what i drank last time when I got it...

"let it all come out" is an old wives' tale..
it's actually a virus and the earlier your body figures out how to kill it, the better..
i think there are also anti-viral medication for chickenpox now...
oh.. also, the virus WILL recede and hide in your nervous system... and when it decides to come out again, you get shingles which are very painful because they attack your nervous system..
DO NOT go to chinese sinseh for that.. they'll only make it worse.. go see a doctor to get anti-viral medication (which will be expensive).. if not, the virus destroys some nerves, you'll have a long way in rehab.. and if it attacks your facial nerves, your face may be paralysed...
p.s. shingles also called "snake" by chinese... there is no snake and there is no "eye" to pierce... it's just blisters from the virus attacking the nervous system there.. again, see a doc for the anti-viral medication..Originally posted by augleo:I rmbr my late mummy said, dun drink those Liang stuffs 1st. let all the pox out first. then drink barley n Liang Teh to subside them. or it will "visit" you again if it doesn't "come" out all.

my bro has that! it's been ongoin for the last 1 year plus already
it hurts a lil according to him.. but the idiot insists on his daily jogs even tho he'd bleed or sth after each session
-
huh? it's supposed to recede after 2 to 3 weeks..
get him to go see a doc.. they will give him a pile of vitamins which will help nerves regenerate..
as for bleeding, not too sure about it.. but shingles will recede after a while..Originally posted by shinta:omg!

this thread makes my hair stand. especially after reading bear's post. -
I got it at ard the same age as u too when i was in NS haha... Seriously, there's nothing much u can do... Juz enjoy the rest at home, and juz dun scratch the pox... My body's pretty scarred by my scratching and it took more than a yr b4 it faded to look better and less noticeable (note: not fully gone)... Oh and I suggest u stay away from mirrors, it makes u feel worse to see your unsightly self hehOriginally posted by blue_kelvinsg:2 months before hitting 20. -
