Can someone with pleurisy eat chicken drumsticks?
Disease description:
I've been feeling unwell lately, and after a hospital checkup, I was diagnosed with pleurisy. I've been paying close attention to my diet, but recently I've been craving chicken. I'd like to ask, is it okay for someone with pleurisy to eat chicken thighs?

Patients with pleurisy can appropriately consume chicken drumsticks, as chicken is rich in nutrients and can help supply the body with essential nourishment and enhance immunity, thereby aiding in disease recovery. However, excessive intake should be avoided to prevent increased gastrointestinal digestive burden and abdominal discomfort.
