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.
