Hello doctor! My baby is 2 years old, and chickenpox spots started to appear. So, should you give your baby antibiotics right now? Or let the nodules grow out before using antibiotics?

Hello! Chickenpox is a viral disease that requires antiviral treatment, not antibiotics.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
