Patient's question:
Can you eat shrimp with whooping cough?Doctor's answer:
Pertussis can be eaten with shrimp, provided that it is necessary to pay attention to whether the baby has a constitution prone to allergic reactions to seafood. Eating shrimp or seafood has no impact on simple pertussis. Generally, pertussis is managed through dietary control and symptomatic treatment, consuming more vegetables and fruits, drinking plenty of plain water, and getting adequate rest. During the acute phase with fever, it is recommended to consume rice porridge and liquid foods for easy dietary supplementation. Eating shrimp and seafood is not harmful. Snacks should be avoided. The therapeutic effect of dietary measures is limited, and sensitive antibiotic treatment should be considered.
