After pleurisy, patients can generally eat some scrambled eggs with tomatoes. This is mainly because scrambled eggs with tomatoes is not a stimulating food and will not adversely affect pleurisy; it can also help the body replenish nutrients and enhance the patient's immunity. After developing pleurisy, patients should avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods to prevent symptom aggravation caused by irritation.
