Once the distinctive
chickenpox rash is identified, your health
professional may ask you some questions to confirm a diagnosis, such as:
- How many days has it been since you (or your
child) were in contact with someone who has chickenpox?
- Does
someone in your home have chickenpox?
- Do you (or your child) have
any other medical conditions that may interfere with the body's natural defense
system (impaired immune system)?
- Do you (or your
child) have any signs of complications of chickenpox, such as severe headache,
unusual sleepiness, or constant vomiting?
