10 Chicken Pox Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Difficulty Breathing
For healthy adults and even children over a certain age, chicken pox is not usually something to be overly concerned about. It is likely to be uncomfortable, and even embarrassing aesthetically, but it will usually pass with no permanent harm done. That is not to say that it cannot be dangerous, though, so it should always be treated with respect.
For the very young, the very old, and the sick, chicken pox can be dangerous. It can cause an infection of the lungs and an inflammation of the brain along with other potentially serious problems. If symptoms such as breathing difficulties occur in a patient with chicken pox, you should seek emergency medical attention as soon as possible.
