‼️ Parents/Carers‼️
We've had a case of chicken pox this week.
If you suspect that your child has chickenpox please remember NOT to give them nurofen or ibuprofen.
This type of medicine is an anti-inflammatory. It reacts with the chickenpox making it go deeper into the skin tissue, potentially causing a more severe secondary infection.
Better options:
👶Paracetamol for fever
👶Calamine Lotion for the itch
👶Keep your child hydrated
Always seek medical advice.
Children must be kept off nursery until all the spots have formed a scab.
