No, a CRP of 62.8 mg/L on day 6 is not normal in uncomplicated varicella.
It strongly suggests bacterial superinfection

See, CRP means C reactive protein. It rises whenever there is infection in blood. As you have Chicken pox virus in your body, CRP will rise gradually and then fall later on. You must not worry about that. Meanwhile you should consult a general physician to ascertain exact diagnosis and proper treatment
Next Steps
Consult a general physician to provide important data points to arrive at exact diagnosis and proper treatment.
Health Tips
1. Have plenty of water
2. Take adequate rest
3. Diet is important
Good luck

Hi.. CRP can rise during viral infections like chickenpox, especially if there’s inflammation or secondary bacterial infection. A value of 62.80 is elevated and may indicate ongoing inflammation or possible bacterial involvement. Continue acyclovir and monitor symptoms—if there’s high fever, pus, or worsening condition,consultation needed with doctor.
