Question
Can hand, foot, and mouth disease patients eat shrimp?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, characterized by mouth pain, loss of appetite, low fever, and the reoccurrence of small blisters or sores on the hands, feet, and mouth. Most children recover within a week. According to your description, if the illness has fully healed and there are no blisters in the mouth, shrimp can be consumed. Pay attention to oral hygiene. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take their children to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can give your child some juice to aid digestion and vitamin absorption, prevent stomach troubles, and hope for a quick recovery!
