Patient's question:
On hands, feet, and in the mouth, there are small blisters. Regarding the treatment and effectiveness from two days ago, medication was taken. May I ask if hand, foot, and mouth disease can consume chives?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, it is not suitable to eat chives. Western medicine believes it might be fine because Traditional Chinese Medicine wellness practices consider chives to be pungent and irritating, which are not well-suited for many chronic diseases or skin rash conditions. They may either alleviate symptoms or cause the condition to worsen. It is best to avoid them altogether, as chives are not a highly nutritious food, especially for children affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease. Therefore, parents must take their children to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of over-the-counter medications. Proper medication should be used, and parents should closely monitor their children's condition to help them receive timely treatment.
