7. Headache
The varicella-zoster virus that is responsible for chickenpox infection can trigger headaches and this can make the patient unable to concentrate. In most cases, this is only temporary. The headache will eventually subside once the virus is no longer in the body.
In the most severe cases, however, the virus infection can result in more serious neurological complications. If left unattended, the patient’s brain tissues and cerebellum can be inflamed. The cerebellum is that part of the brain that is responsible for controlling the gait, balance, and muscle coordination. An inflamed cerebellum is a condition that mostly affects kids between the age of 2 and 7.
