Is it possible to re-infection after a light chickenpox in 6 months?

anonymously, about girl, 1 year

Hello! My daughter got sick with chickenpox at 6 months, everything went in a mild form, the rash didn’t even spread over the body. In general, as prescribed, the pediatrician drank fenistil, and in a couple of days everything went away. But I have a question, can she get sick from me a second time? Many doctors and moms say that if she had been ill up to a year and in a mild form, she would definitely pick up a second time. Tell me, is it true? My daughter often played with windmill children, and in the kindergarten she transferred all quarantines successfully. Thanks for attention!)

Hello! Chickenpox can be swallowed twice and even thrice in a lifetime, regardless of the form in which the disease has progressed.

It all depends on the level of immunity - strengthen it, drink vitamins, lead an active and healthy lifestyle, and you will not be afraid of recurrent chicken pox. There are also vaccinations against chicken pox, you can consult them with the district pediatrician.
