Why?
The reason is that immune system is designed to raise temperature as a defence mechanism, if there is any attack by a foreign body (such as bacteria). So body temperature may fluctuate between 97 and 100.4. But there is no need to worry.

I hope your recovery from chickenpox is progressing well. In general, the decision to resume table tennis after recovery depends on a few factors:
complete recovery:
ensure you have fully recovered from chickenpox. Returning to physical activities too soon can delay healing and increase the risk of complications.

Hi,
understand your concern. Shingles/chicken pox are contagious. However, the zoster virus is contagious only in its active stage. It is non- contagious in dormant stage. Almost every person carries it whoever is infected in their life time. It stays dormant and reactivates at times. Thats the time when it is contagious. Else do not worry, it doesnot harm in anyway.
Hope this is clear. For further details, please connect online/in-person.

Dear lybrate-user, thanks for reaching out since your son's typhidot igm is positive you must get a professional opinion by physical / video consultation with me or any paediatrician at earliest and start antibiotics at recommend dosage and time.
This is because if not treated properly now, he may develop severe complications in adulthood like ulcers in intestinal walls, obstruction of food passage, etc.
Please don't take any such risk.
Take care.
