Can you eat oysters when you have a fever?

Patient's question:

My son is 7 years old. Yesterday, starting in the afternoon, he had a fever, and he only took anti-inflammatory medicine at night. Today, I made this dish, steamed oysters with garlic sauce. Can he eat it?

Doctor's answer:

If it's just a simple cold, you can eat some oysters appropriately, which won't affect your health. However, a fever has now appeared, so it's better not to eat oysters during the cold and fever period. Additionally, when you have a cold, you should seek timely treatment. If it's a viral cold, you should also take antiviral medications.
