I want to remind everyone that my videos are for educational purposes only. Of course, everyone is welcome to watch, but the information I present is most useful for junior doctors, nurses, and students.

If you are a patient and have any questions about your health, please get in touch with your doctor.

I got my chickenpox on my 25 years , but on the first day, i just got headache but able to move without difficulty. I thought it's just a common headache as i didn't sleep and prepared material for presentation. I even make a good presentation that day, as i didn't know I actually got chickenpox. Later on that night, i realize i got chicken pox as suddenly my body full of red dot rash and i feel so itchy. And i realize my head also full of small pimple. One week before that, my 5 year old little got chickenpox, and had similar symptom. Hence i realize that i got chickenpox from her. Fortunely, on my 4th day, the itchy finally gone and all of the pimple / rash become smaller and i no longer feel the pain when i touch it.
