A member asked:
My 82 year-old grandma in china is suffering from varicella pneumonia. is there any over-the-counter drugs i can purchase from us that would help her?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None available: Prescription acyclovir and intravenous varicella immune globulin would be my choice for treatment.OTC meds might provide comfort but help very little if at all.It is a serious condition.
