Patient's question:
My baby is two years old and has developed red spots on his body. The doctor said it's hand, foot, and mouth disease. His father bought some seafood, so he wanted to consult: Can people with hand, foot, and mouth disease eat seafood?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation described above: Hand, foot, and mouth disease, also known as hand, foot, and mouth syndrome, is a common infectious disease. This disease is self-limiting and usually resolves within one week without treatment, so as long as it is treated appropriately, it generally will not worsen. The main principle of treating hand, foot, and mouth disease is symptomatic relief. You can take some Pu Dilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid, Xiao'er Chiqiao Granules, or Antiviral Oral Liquid. For sore mouth, a little Yiner Tong or Ribavirin Spray can be used, both of which are quite effective. During hand, foot, and mouth disease, children's mental state and gastrointestinal absorption function are affected to some extent. During the acute phase, it is recommended to drink light fluids and avoid seafood, as children's spleen and stomach functions are relatively weak and it is not advisable to eat fish, shrimp, or other foods to avoid increasing dampness and phlegm.
