My wife thinks i should see someone for my chicken pox. should i?

Depends: If you have had chickenpox or shingles for less than 48 hours antiviral medications like Acyclovir can shorten the duration of illness and ameliorate the intensity of symptoms. So a doctor can write you a prescription.

Adults need eval: Chicken pox is usually a benign issue in childhood, but for some reason adults are at risk of some significant complications, including a life threatening pneumonia and invasive strep disease.Having a conversation with your doc, by phone or at the office is certainly worth your while. The dr who knows you best can guide you thru proper management of this illness.
