How To Treat Fever And Diarrhea?
hi there. My 2 year old son was unwell a couple of weeks ago with sickness, fever and diarrhoea and a couple of spots on his neck. He is fine now, it was put down to a viral infection. Now my 4 year old has chicken pox, could my youngest have had it without too many spots and passed it onto his brother?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible , since he did have a localized rash, that he had a mild case and passed it on to his brother.
It is spread through the air when a person coughs or sneezes or by contact with the lesions.
Transmission occurs 1 to 2 days before the rash occurs up to the point when the rash scabs over.
I hope this helps
