The antibiotic will not harm you if it turns out it is not bacterial, but it won't do you any good either. In your case, it is probably very difficult to determine if it is viral or bacterial. For school aged kids (or even adults going to work), the school usually requires the child to have at least 24 hours of an antibiotic when diagnosed with conjunctivitis (pink eye) - whether it is bacterial or not. Z-pak (alone) is indicated for sinus infections that have become bacterial infections. Z-pak plus bacterial sinus infection is a good combo. Z-pak and your other antibiotic taken together will not make your sinus infection better quicker than the Z-pak alone. Ciloxan opthalmic ointment or drops will not interact with the Z-pak, either (not harmful taken together).

Why are patients not prescribed with antibiotics when they are having chicken pox?

Patients are not prescribed antibiotics for chickenpox because it is a viral infection, and antibiotics are effective only against bacterial infections. Chickenpox typically resolves on its own without the need for antibiotics. However, if a secondary bacterial infection occurs due to scratching the rash, antibiotics may then be necessary to treat that specific infection. Therefore, the initial viral illness itself does not warrant antibiotic use.
