How contagious is chicken pox?
I just found out that a kid in my son’s preschool has chicken pox. What are the chances my son got it too? He hasn’t been vaccinated against it. He is 3 years old.A. Chickenpox is very contagious — so there is a big chance your son caught it too. Most kids with a sibling who’s been infected will get it as well, showing symptoms about 2 weeks after the first child does. Chickenpox causes a red, itchy rash on the skin that usually appears first on the abdomen or back and face, and then spreads to almost everywhere else on the body, including the scalp, mouth, nose, ears, and genitals. Some kids have a fever, abdominal pain, sore throat, headache, or a vague sick feeling a day or 2 before the rash appears. These symptoms may last for a few days, and fever stays in the range of 100°–102° Fahrenheit (37.7°–38.8° Celsius), though in rare cases may be higher.
