Can people with acute pleurisy eat eggs?
Disease description:
My husband was diagnosed with acute pleurisy yesterday and hasn't eaten anything all day. When cooking today, I wanted to add some eggs for him, but is it okay for someone with acute pleurisy to eat eggs?

Patients with acute pleurisy who are not allergic to eggs can usually eat eggs, but it is recommended to consume them in moderation and avoid fried or pan-fried eggs, as these contain higher amounts of fat that may increase digestive burden and hinder recovery. However, if a patient with acute pleurisy is allergic to eggs, they should generally avoid eating them, as this could lead to increased discomfort and impair recovery.
