Not immediately: If your 4 yr old is upto date with immunisations he/she should have had a chicken pox shot at age 1 and age 4 and is unlikely to have chicken pox.ry Benadryl (diphenhydramine) orally and apply calamine lotion.chicken pox is a viral infection and is preceded by a low garage fever,not feeling well and then a rash with clear fluid hitch becomes scabbed.the rash generally stats on the chest and trunk.

Chicken pox: If it is chicken pox then it might help to see your doctor. Most children get vaccinated in this country, however they can still get a minor infection. Usually rash is less than the full blown response. You treat Chicken pox with Acyclovir, but this depends on how bad the rash is. Might be worth having rash seen and then determine if it is Chickenpox or not.

Blumpsters?Blistumps: If you want a definitive answer, then yes. If she is happy and active and doesn't have a real high fever, then maybe not.She should get those red bumps and teeny blisters in other areas, If just on the face, that would be unusual. The best course of action would be to make sure it's chicken pox("varicella")and keep him home until the "bumps" have dried-up (there should be some little blisters too)
