Suggest Diet To Be Followed While Suffering From Chicken Pox
Question: could you please let me know the food that I can have and which I shouldn't have by the time of chicken pox and even after ?
Brief Answer:
No special diet...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
There is no special diet for chicken pox. The aim is to take more foods rich in vitamin C that can boost your immune system, thus, making it easier to fight infection.
Usually, I recommend my patients with chickenpox to :
- eat more fruits and vegetables.
- drink plenty of water
- have more cold juices to cool your throat, and especially if you are developing sores in your mouth
- have soups or other light meals
Wish fast recovery!
