A slice right out f my own life!Chickenpox - Page 3

I've never had the chickenpox and I don't know if I got vaccination for it...I guess I did when I was younger because I once visited my friend when she had it and nothing happened to me. Thank God!

I'm so glad you wrote this post Sunara because whilst watching the show I just figured the cvs decided to use this to make a point not really believing that anyone in this day and age would forgo a doctors advice and only do desi ilaaj. I've never seen anything like this but perhaps that's because where I live you'd have to get neem pata from the Indian grocery store and so due to the quanitity needed it's probably more cost effective to go to the doctor😆

Doctor's opinion- It's OK to get chickenpox as a child- it builds up more immunity as compared to the vaccine(proven by case studies). Chickenpox intensifies as you get older, ie an adult contracting the disease will have more complications than a child. So ideally, adults who have never had chickenpox before (like you were) , should get immunized. But it's perfectly OK for a child to have it, they'll develop life long immunity that way. That's not to say you shouldn't take your kids to a doctor or that it's God's wrath (They call it choti mayi or something like that in North India). But all you can do is give them tablets or an ointment to prevent itching, prescribe nutritious food (non-veg is allowed, unlike what our grandparents believe), and yes, you MUST isolate the kids/patient - it spreads to all other people whether they touch them or not within 2 weeks, if not previously immunized. The problem with vaccination is that it's very expensive- it' s 5000 rs for the course of 3 vaccines, while most of us may be able to afford it, a lot of people can't.

Enjoy Yesterday episode

Nice post!

The episodes are getting better ...and they are showing every normal and customary stuff from our day to day life..The best part of the show is they are utilizing every characters and giving screen space to almost all the characters from Borisagar family...and they have very well presented a traditional joint family where every individual is different unlike other shows...

On a side note yes me too took this chicken pox vaccination 6 yrs back ...By God's grace I am fine too... 😊

what an experience dear
I m scared I haven't got chickenpox till now
