It’s actually the other way around. Going through chicken pox as a kid increases the chance to have a shingles as it is caused by the same virus being dormant in your body.

When infected the first time you can have chicken pox as an adult.

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic and can be given for the risk of opportunistic infections but it doesn’t treat a viral disease by itself.

Good to know! I suspected that was the case since it is a variant of herpes, dormant in most cases but with the potential to reassert itself when the immune system is struggling.
