An attack gives lifelong immunity, but the virus remains dormant in the body and may reappear later to cause shingles. <br \/> The virus is spread by airborne droplets or by direct contact. It is highly contagious, and those with chicken pox should stay away from nonimmune people. <br \/> The virus can also cause serious complications during pregnancy. <br \/> Symptoms appear 1 to 3 weeks after infection. Initially, there is a widespread rash of red spots.<br \/>  The spots develop into itchy, fluid-filled blisters, which dry out and form scabs that eventually fall off. <br \/> Symptoms can be relieved with acetaminophen and over-the-counter preparations to reduce itching. In some cases, a doctor may prescribe antiviral medication. <br \/> There is a vaccine against chicken pox recommended for certain groups of people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes called varicella, chicken pox is an infectious disease caused<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[16],"class_list":["post-3190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-med-signs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3190\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
