St John Ambulance Antrim

Chickenpox is going around again! Please remember NOT to give your children nurofen/ibuprofen if you think your child has it.

This type of medicine is an anti-inflammatory. It reacts with the chickenpox making them 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.
