It is quite common for babies to get chickenpox. Chickenpox can make the skin feel particularly itchy. Usually, you should be careful not to scratch the skin.

Some mothers don’t know what their baby can’t eat after getting chickenpox. What can’t babies eat after getting chickenpox? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Don’t eat hairy food

Chickenpox and measles are both rash-causing febrile diseases, but after getting measles, you need to eat irritating foods. If you have chickenpox, you should eat light food. If you eat irritating foods, the chickenpox will increase in number and size, making it more difficult to recover. Therefore, if a child has chickenpox, he must not be given irritating foods, such as coriander, fermented rice, crucian carp, ginger, onion, mutton, rooster, shrimp, eel, pumpkin, etc.

2. Not knowing spicy food

Spicy foods: Chickenpox is the same as some other diseases. You should avoid eating spicy foods. Spicy foods will increase fire and produce phlegm, making chickenpox more serious. For example, it is best not to eat chili peppers, chili oil, mustard, curry, garlic, leeks, fennel, cinnamon, pepper, etc.

3. Don’t eat greasy food

Greasy food: Children with chickenpox always cannot eat due to fever and have poor digestion, so never feed your children greasy food. Such as: fried sesame balls, snacks, fried dough twists, fried pork chops, fried steak, fried chicken, etc. These foods are difficult to digest and are harmful rather than beneficial to children's bodies.

4. Do not eat hot food

Hot foods: The treatment of chickenpox should focus on clearing away heat and detoxifying, so it is best not to eat hot foods. Such as dog meat, mutton, venison, sparrow meat, broad beans, garlic sprouts, leeks, longan meat, lychees, dates, corn, etc. Drug contraindications: Chickenpox is sometimes confused with other diseases. If it is confirmed, hormonal drugs such as hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, prednisone, etc. should not be used. At the same time, children should not be given tonic and hot medicines during illness, such as ginseng, deer antler, aconite, fennel, cinnamon, and epimedium.
