Generally speaking, "Jia Liu" refers to influenza A, and "Fa Shao" refers to fever. Patients with fever caused by influenza A can consume eggs, but should do so in moderation. Detailed explanations are as follows:
Eggs are nutrient-rich foods containing high-quality protein, various vitamins, and minerals, which can help strengthen the patient's physical condition and promote recovery. During fever caused by influenza A, patients are often physically weak, and moderate egg consumption can help replenish energy and maintain basic nutritional needs. However, if patients experience severe gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, they should temporarily avoid eating eggs or other high-protein foods to prevent additional strain on the gastrointestinal system.
In daily life, individuals should practice good personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, especially after touching public items or after coughing or sneezing, ensuring thorough hand cleaning with soap and running water. Additionally, avoid touching the eyes, nose, and mouth with hands to reduce the risk of virus transmission.
