Does a Chicken Pox Outbreak Always Require Fever?

Question

Does a baby getting chickenpox always have a fever?

Answer

Chickenpox is a self-limiting disease that typically heals on its own. If a child is diagnosed with chickenpox, it is recommended to bathe with warm water and apply Acyclovir ointment locally. Avoid using hormonal medications and consider taking Platycodon grandiflorus herbal tea to alleviate symptoms. If fever occurs, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, good personal hygiene should be maintained, and children should be prevented from scratching to avoid infection and scarring.
