Hello ,I m 21 years old.3days ago I had some symptoms of cold so I met a doctor and he prescribed Sefixim 400 for me because of the bad smell in my nose like infectious smell.Today I found that I have chickenpox.The doctor said I have to continue the antibiotic ( sefixim 400 ) for 7 days because I have already started using it.Today I have read an article mentioned that if you have chickenpox its forbidden to use antibiotics except emergency situations. My question is
