Other Answers:
yes
Yes
It's unlikely, since people develop a immunity to it once they've had it.
I don't think you can get it twice in two years
No. You might get measles or mumps but you cannot get chickenpox 2x.
yep, my bro had them twice
Yes. Sometimes people who have had a very mild case the first time around can get chicken pox again.
Yes, but it sounds more like you have a cold sore than Chicken Pox...
Cold Sores are from the same family as Chicken Pox (Herpes Zoster, I believe) ... now, don't worry... it's not dangerous... but it can be a little uncomfortable..
... but it IS contagious... be careful... don't share glasses, or kiss anyone, or you could pass it along.
There are a couple of drugs you can get for it. Some are over the counter, and, if you get them frequently, you can get prescription medication.
Good luck!
It is a rare occurrence but people with low immune systems can contract the virus again.
Hi there!
I dont think chicken pox occurs twice. It could be something else that looks like a pox. Try to go to the doctor as soon as possible and check what the infection is. Take care of yourself. Green or lime tea for your throat!
YES!!! MY FRIEND HAD IT LIKE 5 TIMES!!!!!
Yes but it is very rare. But chicken pox is a type of Herpes virus.
Just once was more than enough for me!
No, you can't get chicken pox twice. Your body develops an immunity to it. Chicken Pox are a type of herpes, so this blister could be a herpe like problem.
yes you can get chickenpox twice, if the first time wasnt severe enough, and as adults it can become shingles which is worse
yes
it is, but you have herpes. sorry.
The odds that you have chicken pox again is very rare. You may just have a cold sore and a sore troat from the in and out of air conditioning. If you have a lot of hive like pox starting on the trunk of your body and radiating out then it may possible that it is pox. Either way...if u are really concerned, see your doctor.
Yes, you can get it twice,although rare. But if you have a blister on your lip it may just be a simple cold sore.
yes... some people have it more than once, if it's not as severe the first time.
the answer is yes. I had it twice and my uncle also had it twice too.. so it can happened.
my dotter had it sumwhere end last year. after she had it... i got it too.. i quickly went to see our family doctor. the medcine is really good tho its expensive but best to see the doctor early if you know the symptoms
Yes they can, infact you can get it numerous times. It's a herpes virus. I've been a nurse for 26 years and we are giving immunizations to kids to help. The Varicella shot doesn't keep you from getting the pox again but, it helps so if you do get it, the next time it will be less pox and easier. Shingles is also the adult version of chicken pox, it's herpes also. Then there's Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 and type 2.
Yes someone can get chicken pox twice.....ifff youve been exposed. What you have sounds more like a cold sore (herpes) & a sore throat. If youre running a temp plz see your Dr for a test to see of you have a strep throat. This can be serious if not treated with antibioics. God bless.....
It's rare for people to get the chicken pox more than once unless you have a irregular immune system. But most of the time your body has immunity for life.
You should treat that sore throat and if it continues you should see a doctor.
You just have a cold sore. Smallpox turns into shingles in 60 plus y/o people. It lives in the nerves on the spinal column to reappear several years later.
I'm amazed by all the people that shouted a resounding NO.
I've had chicken pox twice. I doubt that you have chicken pox now though - sounds like a cold sore. Check out Abreva - it shortens the "life" of a cold sore.
Some people are so rude.
If it doesn't clear up with the Abreva, call your doctor.
yes you can but go to the Dr it might be harps simplex 2 i had it 2 years ago and it was from a cold sore and NOT A STD!!!!! it took a month for it to go away i could not eat it hurt to bad and to drink it hurt but I had to take 4 meds
Not trying to be mean, but maybe herpes? or shingles? or possibly Gonorehha? Sorry, just checking the bases.
My son had it at 6 weeks, 6 years and 8 years. It got worse with each case. When he was 8 it was really really bad. He never got them again and he's 17 now. Good thing cause if you don't get a bad case when you are young or get a shot! then you get shingles when you are older (related to chicken pox) and that is the pits! Lots of teens get them today. Used to be an old people disease. You need a doctor. They don't go away by themselves. Use tea tree oil. It tastes yucky, but it works great in relieving the pain! And, take l-lysine, it's a vitamin, it helps too.
it is very rare to have chicken pox twice , usually only happens if you got the chicken pox when you were younger than 6 mos old, after that usually you have antibodies. it could be a cold sore on your mouth , chicken pox you would have more than 1 blister.
