Can I eat luosifen (river snail rice noodles) after getting COVID-19?

In general, "COVID" refers to novel coronavirus infection. Individuals with novel coronavirus infection can eat luosifen (a spicy rice noodle soup from Liuzhou), but it is not recommended to consume the spicy version, and intake should be moderate. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Luosifen contains abundant nutrients such as protein, vitamins, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Eating a moderate amount of luosifen can help supplement essential nutrients, especially improving appetite in patients with novel coronavirus infection who may experience poor appetite. However, irritant foods should be avoided to prevent worsening of symptoms. Spicy ingredients such as chili peppers in spicy luosifen may irritate the respiratory and digestive tracts, potentially exacerbating symptoms like sore throat, cough, nausea, and vomiting. Therefore, although luosifen can be consumed, the spicy variety should be avoided as much as possible.

Although luosifen has certain nutritional value, excessive consumption may lead to indigestion or other issues. Thus, patients with novel coronavirus infection should consume luosifen in moderation and avoid eating too much at once. In terms of diet, patients should moderately consume foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals—such as lean meat, fish, eggs, milk, fresh vegetables, and fruits—to meet the body's nutritional needs.
