Is Beer Advisable After Chicken Pox Recovery?
Hello, I am 28 years old and I just had chicken pox. I was on antiviral meds for 5 days. I stopped taking them 2 days ago. Yesterday my doctor told me that I'm not contagious anymore since the blisters have started crusting. Last night I ended up drinking beer, happy that I can finally go out. Is it okay to drink beer in my condition? Thanks.

Chicken pox is viral infection and this does not need any treatment because even after taking the antiviral the disease completes the course of one week so taking medicine for this does not make any difference, you can not have the alcohol unless got the total recovery, hope this information helps.
