Can you eat orange chicken with strep throat?

No, you should avoid eating orange chicken or any other solid food while you have strep throat. Strep throat is a bacterial infection of the throat and tonsils that causes inflammation and pain. Eating solid food can irritate your throat and make the pain worse.

Instead of orange chicken, you should stick to soft, easy-to-swallow foods like pudding, yogurt, applesauce, and soup. You should also drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.

Once your strep throat has cleared up, you can gradually start to eat solid foods again. However, you should avoid spicy, acidic, or crunchy foods that could irritate your throat.
