Hello doctor. The doctor asked me if I have a low-grade fever for many days in a row if I have chickenpox, what's wrong? And can you bathe with lifebuoy soap? Thank you doctor for helping me.

Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec Health System. Smallpox fever is a symptom of the disease. When you have chickenpox, you do not need to abstain from bathing, so you can still bathe normally, as long as you do not take a long bath so that your body does not catch a cold. Hope you get well soon.
