Chicken pox is currently “doing the rounds” locally. It’s a useful time to share some self care tips about how to manage the symptoms at home as most children with chicken pox don’t need to see a GP. ⏺️ encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids - try ice lollies if your child is not drinking ⏺️ give paracetamol to help with any pain and discomfort - avoid ibuprofen ⏺️ use cooling creams or gels from a pharmacy ⏺️ speak to a pharmacist about using antihistamine medicine to help itching ⏺️ bathe in cool water and pat the skin dry (do not rub) If your child has chickenpox, they will need to stay off school/nursery until all the spots have formed a scab. This is usually 5 days after the spots first appeared. For further advice see the NHS website or contact NHS111. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chickenpox/

The NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT) was created to help service providers and commissioners understand whether patients are happy with the service provided, or where improvements are needed. It's a quick way to give your views after receiving NHS care or treatment.
Reviews
NHS reviews will not publish names of individuals, gender or identifying features. They will not share any review where the experience has resulted in a formal complaint or the reviewer intends to make a formal complaint. The review must also be about a specific experience and not a general view of the NHS or the service as a whole. See the NHS reviews policy here.
Google reviews really help us to know where we can improve, but these are not anonymous. You can change your Google account name to a pseudonym or nickname to avoid revealing your full name publicly if you prefer.
