Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Patients with herpes zoster can eat a variety of fruits to promote physical recovery. These fruits are usually rich in vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, which help enhance immunity. Specifically, patients with herpes zoster can moderately consume the following fruits:
1. Fruits rich in vitamin C: such as kiwifruit, oranges, and lemons. Vitamin C helps boost immunity and promotes skin repair.
2. Fruits rich in fiber: such as apples and bananas. Fiber helps stimulate intestinal motility, prevent constipation, and thereby reduce physical strain.
3. Heat-clearing and detoxifying fruits: such as watermelon and dragon fruit. These fruits have heat-clearing and detoxifying properties, which may help alleviate pain and discomfort caused by herpes zoster.
