14month old exposed to chickenpox at creche.no chickenpox vaccine.is this dangerous?no sign of being sick yet.what symptoms should i watch out for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chickenpox: The incubation time for chickenpox is 14-21 days from exposure, so you may not have seen symptoms yet if that time has not passed. Usually the child starts out with a very low grade fever and is slightly fussy, then within the next 24 hours develops the classic chickenpox rash. The rash starts out as tiny red spots that quickly enlarge over about 1 day, then develop vesicles and finally scab over.
