Patient's question:
Could you please tell me if it's okay to eat fish with hand, foot, and mouth disease? I have sores on my hands, mouth, feet, and buttocks, and I'm worried that eating fish will make my son's hand, foot, and mouth disease worse. So, I wanted to ask the doctor about some taboos for hand, foot, and mouth disease. Thank you very much for your answer.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is not something you can eat fish with. During the illness, it's important to pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. This includes certain allergenic seafood products, which should not be consumed, as they are not conducive to recovery. A light diet and plenty of water should be the focus, and overly greasy foods should be eaten in moderation. Be careful not to scratch with your hands to avoid infection.
