My son has rashes on his tummy, back, arms, and also has little red spots on his face. he has had the chicken pix vaccine. he has fever and bad cough ?

Viral rash: Chicken pox is not the only viral rash out there. Many other viruses cause rashes. And the fact that he was vaccinated is a point, but remember that 15% of kids will still get chicken pox despite the vaccine.

Call pediatrician!: Your son has an rash and fever...This sounds a lot like either chicken pox, measles. Has he also had the MMR vaccine? Before you go to your doctor's office, please give them a call to make sure they're ready to keep him apart from other kids who may be there for other reasons. The office may give him a mask to cover his mouth and nose as well, just in case.

See Your Doctor: Particularly if he has fever go see you doctor now. It is not likely chickenpox if your child had the vaccine.
