What to do when babies and toddlers have Chicken pox?

Chickenpox is a very contagious infection caused by a virus called varicella zoster. Chickenpox is common in children under 10, but you can catch it at any age. Symptoms first appear between 10 and 21 days of becoming infected with chickenpox.
The first signs of chickenpox in babies may include:
- fever, or a temperature of around 101°F to 102°F (38.3°C to 38.9°C)
- poor feeding
- coughing
- fussiness
- fatigue
- sleeping more than usual
You should expect to keep your baby home from child care facilities or other areas with children for about 7 to 10 days, starting with the onset of their fever.
