Question

The child has just recovered from pneumonia two days ago. Can she drink shark fin soup now? Can it disrupt the body? Please experts give some valuable opinions, thank you. I’m interested in how little ones can benefit from eating shark fin!…

Answer

Shark fin is considered a high-energy health supplement. Generally speaking, it’s not advisable for children to consume such potent tonics unless they have weakened resistance and poor constitution, and even then, it should be under medical guidance. Your baby is only 11 months old, and consuming such a tonic at this stage might affect the child’s growth and development. It is recommended that you do not give your child this food. Guidance: If your baby has low resistance, you can gradually improve their condition, but the concentration must be diluted and the amount small, with a very small amount of supplementation over several days to avoid any unexpected symptoms such as fever or nosebleeds.
