Patient's question:
My son is 2 weeks and 9 months old. On the 2nd, the doctor said he had hand, foot, and mouth disease. He has been taking medicine for a week now. Can he eat shrimp now?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, which manifests as mouth pain, loss of appetite, low fever, and the recurrence of small blisters or small ulcers on the hands, feet, and mouth. Most children recover within about a week. According to your description, if the condition has fully healed and there are no more blisters in the mouth, you can eat shrimp. Pay attention to oral hygiene. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digesting vitamins and preventing stomach problems. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
