I have chickenpox. Is it safe to take paracetamol and diclofenac?

Asked by Male, 25 · 23 days ago

If you have chickenpox, it is generally safe to take paracetamol to reduce fever and relieve pain. However, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like diclofenac should be avoided, as they can increase the risk of serious skin infections and complications during chickenpox. Supportive care, including rest, hydration, and managing itching, is important, and you should consult a healthcare professional for advice if symptoms worsen or complications develop.
