What Causes Rashes And Increased Temperature In Children After Chickenpox?
My 2 yr old grandson had chickenpox about 3 weeks ago not very badly, and his 3 yr old sister had it worse about 2 weeks ago and they both recovered well, but the 2 yr old has just come out in another chickenpox like rash, has a temperature, and seems to have another dose of it. Is this normal, and should he just have paracetamol and fluids etc as before?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Continue paracetamol and fluids as before.
You may give Zovirox for control of chickenpox.
You need not worry as chickenpox will not have serious complication in younger children.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
