Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm a bit down with a cold. I ate some shrimp congee today. Could you please tell me if it's okay to eat shrimp when you have a cold?Doctor's answer:
The common cold is a viral infection that occurs when a person's immunity and resistance are relatively low, leading to the onset of the illness. In this case, it is acceptable to eat shrimp, as they contain protein and can provide rich nutrients. Regular consumption can help boost the body's immunity and resistance. Through active immunity, the body can resist viruses and completely eliminate them. When suffering from a cold, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain a light diet.
