<bot>: Hellos , once chicken pox, there develop lifelong immunity and never recurs. But your son is having fever with chills and rigor, so may be due to these possibilities, these include:1 Malaria, diagnosis can be confirmed by peripheral blood slide for malarial parasite .2 Urinary tract infection, get in urine examination.3 Upper respiratory infection, as this is common after chicken pox, so physical examination by a pediatrician is important. However, there are so many other reasons of such fever like secondary infection in blister as this is also common. So in my opinion, consult a pediatrician and get his opinion.
