Everyone knows about this viral rash. Or they used to. A new vaccine means few kids get chickenpox anymore. You might have a fever or\u00a0sore throat\u00a0before the telltale itchy spots break out all over your body. It\u2019s very contagious,\n

so it\u2019s best to stay home until all the sores crust over. Never give\u00a0aspirin\u00a0to a child with chickenpox. It can cause Reye\u2019s syndrome, which is rare but serious.\n

Once you\u2019ve had chickenpox, the virus lives on inside your body. Later it may come back as shingles, a painful, blistering rash. It\u2019s more likely as you get older.\n

The virus is embedded in the blisters. Contact with the virus can\u2019t give you shingles directly, but it could give you chickenpox if you\u2019ve never had it. A\u00a0shingles vaccine\u00a0might help prevent an outbreak.\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
