Question
My son is 7 years old and started having a fever yesterday afternoon. He took an anti-inflammatory medicine last night, and today I made this dish of steamed garlic and raw oysters. Can he eat it?
Answer
If it’s just a common cold, you can eat some raw oysters appropriately without affecting your health. But since there is now a fever, it’s better not to eat raw oysters during a cold and fever period. At the same time, treatment should be sought promptly when symptoms of a cold appear. If the cold is caused by a virus, antiviral medications should be taken in conjunction.
