Answer 2

C) Antibiotics could cure chicken pox sooner than 7 days, since it is a virus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Antibiotics can only be used to treat bacterial diseases.

Chicken pox is one of the most common childhood diseases. Caused by a virus (which explains why it cannot be treated with antibiotics), it can be highly contagious for those who have never had it before or those who have not received the vaccine. However, once exposed to the disease, the person is immune for the rest of his life.

Chicken pox is mainly characterized by the appearance of red blisters on the skin, scattered throughout the body, which cause itching and other symptoms.
