Which statement about chickenpox symptoms is true?

• A. Rash, fever, fatigue, and headache
• B. Cough, wheeze, shortness of breath
• C. Nausea, vomiting
• D. Rash with no fever

Answer: (A)

Chickenpox usually shows a fever together with a distinctive itchy rash and general malaise like fatigue and headache. This combination is the most characteristic, because the rash often appears with fever and makes you feel unwell overall. The other patterns don’t fit as well: cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath point to a respiratory issue rather than varicella; nausea and vomiting can occur in various illnesses but aren’t the hallmark of chickenpox; and a rash without any fever isn’t typical since fever is commonly part of the illness.
