I know the symptoms may not be related to the chicken pox exposure, but in any case my symptoms point to a viral infection of some kind, so taking antiviral medicine makes sense anyway.
I have started feeling unwell - yesterday I began to develop cold-related symptoms with mucus flowing down from the sinuses and discomfort in the back of the nose. Therefore, I have decided to take an antiviral drug (inosinum pranobexum) preventively. Hope I have made the right decision.
Hard to say. It is always possible that you immune system could fight something off. I hope for the best. Short exposure and your kept a good distance. It may be helpful.

Thanks mkh9. I stayed in the room where the children were for only a few minutes, so I hope the risk is minimal. Time will tell.
However, one question keeps bothering me: is it that you are bound to get ill whenever you come into contact with this virus? Isn't it possible for our immune system to get over it and prevent our body from getting infected?
