Question
Is it appropriate to eat seafood during the hand, foot, and mouth disease period?
Answer
Based on the above information, hand, foot, and mouth disease is somewhat self-limiting and generally resolves on its own within 7 days. Treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief and can include medications such as Pu Di Lan Anti-inflammatory Oral Solution and Xiao Er Ji Qiao Granules. During the illness, it is advisable to avoid consuming hard, spicy, and other irritating foods, as well as seafood that may promote dampness and phlegm, in order to protect the function of the spleen and stomach.
