I'm really worried about my husband. He's dealing with chicken pox right now and besides the rash, he's got a really bad headache and fever. It's making me anxious. Is this normal with chicken pox, or should we be more concerned about these symptoms? What should we do to help him feel better?

I'm feeling really cold since yesterday and there's this constant pain in my leg that just won't go away. I'm also experiencing dizziness along with full body aches; it was really bad last night. What could be causing all these symptoms? Should I be concerned or is there something I can do at home to feel better?

I'm a bit confused about taking Zentel. Is it okay to take it in the morning after I've had breakfast? And if I do, will it be alright to have lunch later in the day? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right!

Yes, you can take Zentel (brand name for albendazole) in the morning after food. It is usually recommended to take it with food to help improve absorption. You can take Zentel again after lunch, but be sure not to exceed the prescribed dosage.
