One of the most common remedies, when someone is sick is to encourage them to intake a boost of vitamin C, which is naturally found in certain fruits and vegetables. It is common to tell sick individuals to drink orange juice. However, when an individual is sick with chickenpox it is very important to avoid acidic foods and drinks. This is especially true for those individuals who have chickenpox blisters in their mouth, as the acid found in foods and drinks such as grapefruit or orange juice can irritate the area and cause additional pain. It is possible to boost the immune system with vitamin C while avoiding acidic foods. Great vitamin C alternatives include Kakadu plums, guava, kale, blackcurrants, and kiwi.
