Answers:
The first symptoms of chickenpox often are a fever, a headache, and a sore throat. You or your child may feel sick, tired, and not very hungry. The chickenpox rash usually appears about 1 or 2 days after the first symptoms start. Some children get the chickenpox rash without having a fever or other early symptoms.

my three grandchildren have just had chicken pox.
all started with a few little raised blisters under the arm pit behind ears on the bottom and back. strip off your son and have a good look, if he has raised blisters then within a few hours he will have them everywhere on his body. if he has it then he has been infectious for 10 days before the rash appears. take him to the doctors they will give you some antihistamines to stop him scratching and Don't use the calamine lotion it drys and makes the itch worse. use the calamine cream instead, and don't bath him until the spots have gone as the wet and damp will spread them.Health Question & Answer

The symptoms that preceed the rash are a mild fever and feeling of unwellness. Not exactly like those of a cold. But fever, runny nose and sneezing are early symptoms of measles.
