Is it normal symptoms to have earache and painful rashes with chicken pox?
Patient: my four year old has chickenpox, she came out in the rash yesterday, i have given her calpol and priton, which was advised by the chemist, also camiline cream, but she is complaing that the spots hurt, she also has earache and feels sick, is this normal? Doctor: Hi,I suggest you to get back to us with an image of the child with the so-called chicken pox skin lesions. I am telling this because we need to first ascertain the diagnosis of chickenpox and then suggest you accordingly. Please do not apply any cream or lotion over the body as it might cause of the skin lesions to spread fast. Earache and sensation of nausea are quite common in any viral illness and chickenpox is also a viral illness.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
