Symptoms Linked To The Chickenpox

Malaise

Malaise is a feeling of being generally unwell, and this symptom typically begins before the chickenpox rash appears and lasts throughout the duration of the patient's illness. Patients with malaise often feel fatigued, and malaise may be worse if an individual is experiencing stress or anxiety. To reduce this symptom, patients should ensure they get enough rest, and trying stress-relieving activities such as watching a favorite movie or reading a favorite book may help. Malaise will generally resolve on its own as the virus runs its course. However, if patients with chickenpox and malaise start to experience any abdominal pain, high fevers, muscle weakness, or chest pain, they should be urgently assessed by a physician. In addition, individuals who have malaise that continues for more than a week after they have recovered from the chickenpox should be evaluated by a doctor to check whether this lingering symptom might be related to another medical condition.
