What medicine or tablet should I take for chickenpox?
Asked by Male, 23 · 8 days ago
If needed, your doctor may prescribe antiviral medication, such as Aciclovir, to reduce the severity of chickenpox if started within 24 hours of the rash appearing. You may take paracetamol to reduce fever and calamine lotion or antihistamines to soothe the itching. Always check with your doctor before taking any medicine.

Medication for Chickenpox:
- For a 23-year-old male with chickenpox, antiviral medication such as Acyclovir is commonly prescribed. It helps reduce the severity and duration of symptoms.
- Over-the-counter options like antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine) can help alleviate itching.
Pain and Fever Management:
- Use analgesics and antipyretics like paracetamol to manage pain and fever. Avoid aspirin due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.
Consultation:
- Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and prescription, especially for antiviral medications.
