[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 397552, member: 3444"] The GI emailed back to say she'll have him start on acyclovir (Zovirax) for 5 days. It's an antiviral that limits the disease progression, so the sooner he starts it, the better. My mom is still acting like maybe it's not chickenpox since they don't have the bloodwork results back until tomorrow, but the fact that my uncle is recovering from shingles, and this kid broke out in the lesions yesterday -- I mean, c'mon, it HAS to be that! What are the odds it's not?! in my opinion it would be better to start the antiviral than to risk waiting. The stepson was not not born here either, and he's only been living here about three years. It's quite possible they don't vaccinate for it in his native country like they do here. [/QUOTE]
