A. Chickenpox in newborns can cause serious complications – newborn babies have very weak immune systems, as they haven't had time to develop, so chickenpox can be a very serious infection.If you suspect your baby has chickenpox, you should contact their pediatrician, even if their rash and symptoms are mild. Make sure to let your child's doctor know if your baby has any of the following symptoms. They might indicate complications: a fever of 102°F (38.9°C) or higher.drink plenty of fluid (try ice lollies if your child is not drinking) to avoid dehydration.take paracetamol to help with pain and discomfort.cut your child's fingernails and put socks on their hands at night to stop them scratching.use cooling creams or gels from a pharmacy.
