Should I Worry About Intermittent Fever While Having Chicken Pox?
my 5 year old child has chicken pox, he has had a fever for four days. I went to check on him in his bed and felt his head. At last it did not feel hot. Now I just heard him with strange breathing and he was kind of shivering...I got quite worried but now he is calm and sleeping, breathing normally. He does not seem hot - should I be worrying?

Hi dear ,
I understand you r concern, but if fever 99-100F,then you should not be worried. If he has very high fever more than 5 days,then you should get examined him to exclude bronchitis or pneumonia and start to give him acyclovir 30mg/kg divided for 2 times during 5 days to stop virus.
