What diet should be followed when suffering from recurrent chicken pox?
Patient: Hello, I got a chickenpox on 14/11/14, now I got black coat on all blisters. I know that I should avoid non-veg for at least 2 months but can I take milk products like butter, paneer, ghee etc.... Please suggest some what should I eat or avoid.
