Why recovery from an infection with the chicken pox will not protect a person from getting a different diseasesuch as measles.?

Recovery from chickenpox provides immunity specifically against the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox. However, measles is caused by a different virus, the measles virus, which has its own unique immune response. Therefore, immunity to one does not confer protection against the other, as each infection stimulates the immune system to respond to its specific pathogen. Vaccination for each disease is necessary to ensure protection against both.

How do you stop chickenpox instantly?

You cannot stop chickenpox instantly, you just have to wait. See, the bumps from chickenpox actually protect your body from harmful bacteria in your body. There is a fight going on in your body between the anitbodies and bad germs. When the anitbodies win, the bumps go away. So be patient, think of it as a war, because you can't control when wars end. But if you feel the chickenpox lasted to long, check up with the doctor immediately.
