My newborn has chicken pox.please. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss with the doc: Depending on the timing this can be very serious.Those infected during or soon after birth can develop fatal complications. There are supportive meds available but need to be started quickly. Kids that become infected after a few weeks are less likely to have big problems, Call the doc now.
