Chickenpox is a viral infection and is usually managed with supportive care, so ciprofloxacin will not help with it. However, if you were prescribed it for a urinary infection, do not stop it on your own without advice. Take plenty of rest, stay well hydrated and avoid scratching the rashes to prevent infection. Keep your skin clean and wear loose clothing for comfort. Consult your doctor to review your treatment and ensure both conditions are managed safely.
