10 Chicken Pox Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Fever
When the chicken pox virus gets into the body, it will not be long before it is discovered. Once discovered, our natural defense system gets to work in dealing with the intruder. We have several methods of naturally dealing with invading pathogens, and a fever is one of them.
A fever occurs when our natural defense system raises the temperature of our own bodies. This helps to make the body an inhospitable place for pathogens. Doing this should slow down their spread within the body or, even better, kill them altogether. In chicken pox, fever tends to be worse in adults than in children.
