Yes, you can still eat eggs and chicken while dealing with a fungal infection like ringworm. However, it is important to avoid excessive consumption of sugary and processed foods, as they can potentially worsen the fungal infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices and following your prescribed antifungal treatment is crucial for managing ringworm effectively.
