How do you get rid of a fever when you have chicken pox?
Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by one of a group of Herpes viruses. It causes a distinctive rash that is very itchy, blisters, and mild flu-like symptoms. Paracetamol will bring down the fever and help with any aches and pains. Give acetaminophen, (such as Tylenol), for fever above 102° Fahrenheit. Cool baths also can help bring down a fever. ChaCha!
