I've been dealing with chickenpox for about six days now, and I'm really trying to figure out the best way to take care of myself and recover. Are there specific foods I should avoid or things I shouldn't do while I'm going through this? I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right to feel better soon.

To care for chickenpox, follow these steps: stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, like water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich drinks; eat a bland diet of foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet); avoid scratching, spicy, or acidic foods, and drinks like citrus juices or caffeinated beverages; take over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen for fever and pain, and antihistamines for itching; apply cool compresses or calamine lotion to soothe skin irritation; and get plenty of rest, while also maintaining good hygiene practices, like washing hands frequently, to prevent the spread of the virus
