What foods should be avoided when having chickenpox?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon juice, fresh pear juice, fresh orange juice, and tomato juice. Eat more leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, celery, spinach, and bean sprouts. Leafy vegetables contain a lot of rough fiber, which can help clear internal heat and promote bowel movements. You can also eat cooling and diuretic foods like winter melon and cucumber. Avoid cold, greasy foods, and allergenic foods such as fish, shrimp, crabs, beef, lamb, coriander, fennel, and mushrooms (shiitake). These foods are rich in protein, and these foreign proteins can easily produce allergens, causing allergic reactions in the body and worsening the condition. Spicy and irritating foods, such as chili, pepper, ginger, and garlic, can cause inflammation and are not conducive to early recovery.
