Prescribed Antibiotics And Anti Histamines To Lessen The Itchiness Of Chicken Pox Pimples. Is This The Correct Treatment?
Hi, my daughther was diagnosed to having chicken pox. She has a number of pimple like breakouts appearing on her face, neck and back and some on her arms and legs too, but those are just few and she doesn't have fever, none of the symptoms of chicken pox is showing on her except for those pimples. She still has appetite and is active. She was given antibiotics and antihistamine to lessen the itchiness. Could that really be chicken pox and is it okay for her to take that antibiotic? Thank you for your advise. Connie
