Chickenpox is a viral infection caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV, also known as chickenpox virus). It is an extremely contagious disease which mostly affects kids but can occur in adults as well. It is usually a mild and self-limiting disease but can lead to severe health complications in people with low immunity or infants. It is characterised by classic super itchy rashes and flu-like symptoms. Although the symptoms of chickenpox take their own course of time, home remedies and home care treatment options do play a key role in relieving the itching and pain. The treatment of chickenpox is mostly centred around managing the symptoms.
