My 12yr old son has chicken pox. on applying calomine lotion, he has fainted twice? is this an allergic reaction or should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chickenpox: Fainting would be an unusual reaction as far as an allergy. If the calamine being applied is very painful that can happen. I'd recommend a call or visit to your doctor to get more details. Can also be related to being sicker with the chicken pox.
