Do I Have Chicken Pox at Age 11?
Chickenpox is a frequent illness in kids. The symptoms consist of red itchy spots which form into blisters, fever, and not feeling well. It is caused by a virus called varicella-zoster. The good news is that chickenpox usually will go away by itself in a week or two. Be sure to consume enough fluids and rest. Prevent scarring by scratching the blisters. Inform a grown-up at home so they can help take care of you while you recover.

Could I Be Pregnant If I Missed Period?
It is a common thing for girls to skip their periods now and then. There can be many reasons for this; it might be due to stress, weight fluctuations, or even hormonal imbalances during the teenage period. Other causes are thyroid problems or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). If you are sexually active, pregnancy may also be the reason. If the doctor is unsure, take a pregnancy test or talk to a parent or guardian about visiting a gynecologist to be sure.

What medicine for vaginal infection with itchness, rash, discharge?
The symptoms you have associated with possible infection, which are itchiness, rash, a bad smell, and discharge, may be due to a common infection known as bacterial vaginosis. This is when the bad and good bacteria are not in equal amounts in the vagina. Apply an anti-fungal cream or gel that can be purchased without a prescription. Choose products that have clotrimazole or miconazole as the main ingredients. Follow the instructions on the packaging for proper use. Cotton underwear is the best choice for you, and douching should be avoided. If your symptoms worsen or persist, see a gynecologist for further evaluation.

What Can I Eat with Chronic IBS?
If you are suffering from chronic IBS, the best diet to go for would be easy foods on your tummy. Ice cream, tea cakes, and fiber flakes may be questionable choices. Ice cream might be the cause of your stomachache, and tea cakes are too sweet. On the other hand, fiber flakes could be a high-fiber one, which can trigger IBS symptoms such as bloating and cramps and therefore be a reason for the worsening of the condition. You should make it a point to eat unseasoned foods like rice, cooked vegetables, and lean proteins to assist in calming your stomach.
