Can we eat chiken or goatmeat while we are suffering chicken pox.

Chickenpox: Yes. You can eat anything you want. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella zoster virus and doesn't have anything to do with chickens. There is antiviral medicine (acyclovir , valcyclovir) that will kill the virus and shorten the course of chickenpox, thereby minimizing scarring. See your doctor.
