Question
The patient suspects that the sore throat is caused by chickenpox, and the doctor prescribed Ceftriaxone tablets. After taking them, the patient experienced stomach pain and excessive stomach acid secretion.
Answer
Chickenpox is an infectious skin disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Patients should seek treatment from a dermatology or infectious disease department, where they typically require anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatments. Ceftriaxone tablets are antibiotics, primarily used for preventing and treating infections but not for antiviral purposes. Taking Ceftriaxone tablets may cause stomach discomfort. Additionally, patients can continue using calamine lotion to alleviate swelling and pain. Chickenpox patients should maintain good personal hygiene to prevent infection, and they usually recover within a week. Wishing for a quick recovery.
