Can varicella have a fever continuously

summary

My son had been suffering from chickenpox all the time. The strange thing was that he was still feverish. Finally, after active treatment, he finally returned to normal. It was worrying at that time. Here to see whether varicella will continue to have a fever.

Can varicella have a fever continuously

First of all: chickenpox often occurs in infants, adults are relatively rare. The incubation period is 10-21 days, generally about 14 days. Adults may have fever, headache, sore throat, sore limbs, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other prodromal symptoms 1-2 days before the appearance of the rash. Varicella usually does not have a persistent fever.

Secondly, the rash appeared within 24 hours after the onset of the disease. The rash first occurred in the compressed part of the scalp and trunk, showing a centripetal distribution. At the beginning, it was a small pink rash, which quickly turned into a round tension blister with the size of rice to pea. There was obvious red halo around the blister, and the central part of the blister was in the shape of umbilical fossa. The mucous membrane is often invaded, such as oral cavity, pharynx, conjunctiva, vulva and anus.

Finally: during the rash period of 1-6 days, the rashes appeared in batches, and the lesions showed the evolution process from small red macular papules to herpes, scab formation to decrustation, and no scar was left after decrustation. Blister stage itching is obvious, if scratch secondary infection can leave a slight dent. About 4% of adults may have disseminated chickenpox and chickenpox pneumonia.

matters needing attention

Children should be isolated early until all the rash scab, generally not less than two weeks after the disease. Keep clean and avoid scratching. Parents had better cut their children's nails short to avoid catching chickenpox, so as to stimulate infection, and take measures to prevent infection.
