Chickenpox (and other Infectious Diseases) do notactually cause fever. The fever is caused by the person's own immune system trying to fight the virus (or bacteria). These infectious organisms usually reproduce fastest near normal body temperature; by raising the body temperature the immune system slows their reproduction, making it easier to eliminate them.
If the fever is mild it is best to leave it alone and let it do its job. Use of damp cloths on the forehead or sucking ice cubes to make the patient more comfortable should be all that is needed.
Only if the fever is causing extreme discomfort or gets to about 104F (life threatening range) should other measures be taken to reduce the fever, and the advice of a medical professional should always be sought in such cases before taking action. Remember that children with chickenpox should never take aspirin, as it could cause Reye's syndrome.
The "flu shot"- an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus)
Each vaccine contains three influenza viruses-one A (H3N2) virus, one A (H1N1) virus, and one B virus.
The viruses in the flu shot are killed (inactivated), so you cannot get the flu from a flu shot.
But it can cause some side affects such as fever along with Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given and Aches.
It should go away in a few days, as long as the fever is low grade its nothing to worry about.
Typically, the fever resolves in chickenpox within two or three days. If you have fever after chickenpox have scabbed, contact your health care provider, as you may be experiencing a complication.
Chickenpox vaccine can't cause cold sores. Although herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores, and varicella zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, are both in the herpes family, they are different viruses and illnesses.
Yes, chickenpox may cause a fever of up to 102 or 103F.
Some patients who get chickenpox vaccine will have a mild case of chickenpox with very few lesions as a result. A full-blown case is not typical.
In most cases, a fever is accompanied by chick pox.
Chicken pox vaccine causes malaise and at times fever also.
No. You can still get cold sores if you have had the chickenpox vaccine. Chickenpox and cold sores are caused by slightly different types of viruses in the herpesvirus family. Chickenpox is caused by varicella zoster virus, and cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus.
Cold sores and chickenpox are caused by viruses. Other diseases can be cause by viruses as well but also bacteria.
Chickenpox virus doesn't cause cold sores. Although the viruses that cause chickenpox and cold sores are similar, herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, and varicella zoster virus causes chickenpox.
Varicella Zoster is a type of herpes virus that is commonly the cause of chickenpox. The chickenpox vaccine, often called the Varicella vaccine, is a live virus vaccine to protect against chickenpox, as it can be extremely dangerous in adults. As shingles can also result from the same virus, the vaccine protects against that as well.
There are antiviral medications that reduce the duration of herpes infections like chickenpox, cold sores, and genital herpes. These include valacyclovir and acyclovir.
Chickenpox is a member of the herpes virus family, which includes herpes simplex virus and Epstein-Barr virus.
Cold virus doesn't cause chickenpox, but people with chickenpox often experience symptoms similar to those of a cold.
Facial herpes, or cold sores, is caused by herpes simplex virus. Chickenpox is caused by varicella zoster virus. You can't get chickenpox from someone with facial herpes unless they also have chickenpox.
Cold Sores (herpes virus) are from the Varicella Virus which also causes Chickenpox and Shingles so yes.
At the end of 2013, there is no commercially available vaccine for herpes simplex, the virus that causes cold sores.
Pickles don't cause cold sores.
Almonds don't cause cold sores.
