Hi,
As you are a healthy young individual, I recommend that the chicken pox disease will cure on its own.
I advise you to avoid any medication as this is a viral disease and will not be treated by antibiotics.
You just need symptomatic treatment, avoid contact with other individuals who have had no history of the disease.
In case the spread is rapid, you can try Tab. Acyclovir after consulting with a GP.
