He has had ibruprofen yesterday and today up until lunchtime, but no more as i wanted to give him the piriton to releive the itching and help him sleep tonight. It's just he is now complaining of a headache and the itching is ok!
he is 4. The first spots came out sat morning and have got worse since. There are tiny blisters all over his scrotum which look immensly painful....
i have just managed to finally get through to NHS direct who said it should be fine to take both medication in conjuction with one another.
Thanks for all your help and advice.

Hope you and he manage some sleep through tonight, at least you can rest assurered that now the spots have appearred it should not be too long until he is better, I found when my children were young there was a sequence of 2 weeks between each of the friends they were in contact with, you probably noticed your son was a little off colour last week, another week he will hopefully be ok.
Take care.

Try a sodium bicarbonate bath it will dry spots up quickly. I sat mine in an old baby bath in front of the video and kept dowsing her with jug fulls she sat for ages. Spots dried up real quick.
Ask pharmacy bout drugs I am sure its fine I have given mine both together before you be best to ask nhs direct or pharmacy

My tip for applying calomine lotion is to buy a small plastic spray bottle from the chemist and just spray it on.
My two kids had chicken pox at the same time and neither could bear to have calomine dabbed on with cotton wool, partly as some of the fibres can stick a bit at times, and it was just uncomfortable for them anyway.
This is a tip I have passed on to loads of people, it's far easier. : )
