hi i am suffering from chickenpox and am taking acyclovir for the 8th day today along with augmentin for last 3 days for the bacterial infection. I have headaches for last 10 days, it is always above my right eyabrow. I have been taking paracetamol for this. Is this related to my present illness and is it a cause for worry, i have no other symptoms other than the blisters now.
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorAs you are already on acyclovir and augmenting, no need to worry. Complications of chickenpox like pneumonia, bleeding problems, infection or inflammation of the brain (encephalitis, cerebellar ataxia), blood stream infections (sepsis) are common in people with weakened immune systems because of illness or medications; for example, People with HIV/AIDS or cancer patients who have had transplants, and People on chemotherapy, immunosuppressive medications. So, just no need to worry. You take paracetamol for headache. If symptoms worsen like increased vomiting, blurring of vision, altered state of mentation, then you need to consult your doctor immediately. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
