When to Contact Your Healthcare Provider
Call your healthcare provider if your child:
- Has sores in their eyes
- Is acting ill and has a severe headache.
- Has sores that get bigger or have pus in them.
- Has difficulty breathing or is breathing very fast.
Chickenpox usually goes away after 10 to 14 days.
When Can Your Child Return to School?
After the rash forms, your child can return to school seven to ten days later. You must wait until all of the blisters have scabbed over rather than waiting for the scabs to heal. As long as your blisters are wet, you are infectious.
Conclusion
Before the chickenpox vaccine was created, the infection could lead to hospitalization and deaths. The current vaccine has a 90% success rate in avoiding this once-common pediatric disease. The virus that causes chickenpox persists in your body long after the rash has disappeared, so if you don’t catch it, you won’t get shingles, a painful condition. The symptoms of chickenpox and shingles can be treated at home, but immunization eliminates the need for therapy.
