Hello.. Hello.. We generally do not prescribed specific medications for chicken pox apart from soothing agents like calamine for the lesions and cetrizine to prevent itching and paracetamol for fever..but if it's in adults then we do prescribe acyclovir tablets..I need to know for whom you are asking..thirdly make sure that clothes and bedding of the patient are seperate as it would be contagious 5 days before and after fever and rashes...meet a physician
