Hello Doctor,
I have chickenpox, and I’m wondering if I can eat seafood or chicken. Are there any specific foods I should avoid while recovering?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Yes, it is absolutely fine to eat fish while you have chickenpox. Fish is a good source of essential vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, which can support your immune system and help with recovery. However, it’s best to avoid oily, fried, or heavily spiced foods, as they may irritate your skin or digestive system. Additionally, try to stay away from acidic, spicy, and processed foods, as well as caffeine and sugary drinks, to prevent any discomfort and support faster healing.
Thanks
