What causes itchy fluid filled lesions and throat pain?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have attached the pictures (attachments removed to protect identity). Well, is it just a five hour history? Are these vesicles increasing in number? It is looking like chicken pox caused by herpes simplex. Since this disease is in initial stage, I can just make a provision diagnosis not confirmatory diagnosis. It will become clear in two to three days as chicken pox takes two to three days to come full-blown. The following are the clinical features of chicken pox:

1. Same vesicles as in photos come which are fluid-filled and itchy.
2. If you look closely there could be small pinpoint middle of the vesicle are seen which is characteristic of herpes.
3. On and off fever is very common and sore throat too as you have explained.
4. Most of the time it comes once in a lifetime. So, if your son had not suffered with this more chance to get it.

Do not hurry as it is totally curable. Just wait for two days. If it is chicken pox more vesicles will come and later you can start treatment. Treatment is Acyclovir 400 mg five times a day for 10 days

Take a bath with mild warm water. Avoid applying soap and shampoo too much. You can use a little amount. The whole idea is chemicals should not irritate the skin. It is fine to clean the skin with a smaller amount.

First, we have to be sure whether it is chickenpox or not. As symptoms are in favor of chickenpox, I assume it as chicken pox only. Visit the local dermatologist just for diagnosis and to confirm whether it is chickenpox or not. Your son has taken the vaccine, but still, there is always a chance of getting it at least once in a life. Although chickenpox goes itself without any medication and in that situation time duration will be almost twice of time taken by medicines. If it is chickenpox, then you must take an antiviral drug like Acyclovir. Medications also decrease further complications. Home remedies will not be much useful. And yes without medication new vesicles may appear even after five days because of reinfection.
