Chickenpox Signs & Symptoms

Fever

Just like other viral infections, chickenpox might first appear as a mild cold. Some typical symptoms include a mild fever, a cough, sneezing, or a running nose. Also, the internal temperature of the body might go up to 39 or 40 degrees. In many people, especially adults, these conditions often show up before the outbreak of rashes. However, they tend to follow rashes in children. The fever would last for around 1 to 2 days and then gradually disappear. Thus, you don’t have to take any medications or drugs to alleviate the conditions. [2]
