Defining a sick person in the context of the Nine Days

Question

What is the definition of a sick person who is forbidden to eat during the Nine Days?

Answer

Shalom!
It seems that what you meant to ask is: 'What kind of a sick person is allowed to eat meat during the Nine Days'.
And the answer to this is — any unwell person who needs meat to strengthen himself is allowed to eat meat during the Nine Days.
[If I did not correctly understand your question, please ask again in a clear manner].
