Hi there, first post so here goes... My son has a really nasty case of Chicken Pox and having checked his mouth after he complained it was causing him discomfort - he seems to have them on his gums, tongue and I think on his throat too.
Has anyone got any advice over what kind of good foods he should be eating? My partner and I have been at odds about this as whilst normally I'm really intent on him getting a very nutritious diet he seems to be really off food and to be honest I'mm just going along the lines of well within reason whatever he fancies, i.e ice lollies, banana sandwiches and milk. Partner thinks he should be eating exactly the same as us and son is kicking up a big fuss.
If anyone has any tips that would be grand, he's so off food and has that nasty pale/grey skintones too. Normally I would be strict about not being fussy but he's really poorly! Other problem is we are currently in the midst of a re-dec so no oven.
Joy...
