This actually sounds more like the hand foot and mouth disease. My children just had this, and they all had it in their mouth. Are you sure it is Chicken Pox.

chicken pox virus can be activated years later as the Zoster virus, also known as shingles. it wont be the same thing, with symptoms that are similar, but yes the virus can still be there.
