Can Antibiotics Be Taken During Chicken Pox For Nose Infection?

Hello ,I m 21 years old.3days ago I had some symptoms of cold so I met a doctor and he prescribed Sefixim 400 for me because of the bad smell in my nose like infectious smell.Today I found that I have chickenpox.The doctor said I have to continue the antibiotic ( sefixim 400 ) for 7 days because I have already started using it.Today I have read an article mentioned that if you have chickenpox its forbidden to use antibiotics except emergency situations. My question is : What is going to happen because of taking antibiotics during my chickenpox ? are my acnes going to be scars because of anti biotics ?

Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your treating doctor I advice you that taking antibiotic on chickenpox case is necessary as it may cause secondary bacterial infection. If you already started the antibiotics than you will be prevented from the bacterial infection. It will not heal your scar, its role is to prevent from infection.

If you have anything else to ask, kindly contact me.
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
