Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
There are no dietary restrictions in chicken pox.
You can eat whatever you want to : vegetarian and nonvegetarian food.
Only thing that is important regarding diet is take plenty of fluids.
For your chest pain you can consult a doctor and get yourself examined clinically.
