Technically, there is no cure for chickenpox. Once you get the virus, it stays in your body for life. However, the acute illness of chickenpox usually goes away within a few weeks without treatment. For those with serious illness or at high risk for complications, antiviral medication may be used to decrease the severity. Otherwise, usually it's treated symptomatically with medicine or home remedies to decrease itching, fever, or aches.

Treatment includes bed rest, lots of fluids and medicine for fever and headache. Antibiotics do not help - either to cure measles or to prevent it. There are no anti-viral drugs for treating measles.
Measles are a virus and there are no anti-viral drugs to treat the disease. However, bed rest, fluids, and medicines to treat the effects of the disease such as fever and headache are recommended.

There is a vaccine for preventing measles given at one year of age and it is highly effective.
