What to do if you have a heat stroke and headache during breastfeeding

Heat stroke must occur in a high temperature indoor or outdoor environment. If there is a patient with heat stroke, move him to a ventilated and cool place under high temperature conditions, let him lie flat, loosen his collar, and make him breathe smoothly. Below, the editor shares with everyone the solution to heatstroke during breastfeeding in summer. Everyone is warmly welcome to read and visit.

What to do if you get heat stroke while breastfeeding

1. To ventilate naturally, everyone should be aware of the symptoms of heat stroke during pregnancy, such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, fever, etc. At this time, the mother should leave the high temperature environment immediately and rest in a cool place with good ventilation.

2. Take emergency measures quickly, remove clothes during breastfeeding, drink more salt water, or take ten drops of water, Rendan, Xiaoshu tablets, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, etc., and you will get better in a short time.

3. If a patient has a high fever, is in a coma, or has convulsions, he or she should be allowed to sleep on his or her side with his or her head tilted back to ensure that the respiratory system is unobstructed. While calling the ambulance or notifying the hospital, you can use a wet towel or rub the chest, back, etc. with 30-50% alcohol.

Foods to prevent heat stroke

1. Salt water.

The summer climate is hot, and the average temperature is very high. When people stay outdoors for a long time, their sebaceous glands will secrete a lot of sweat. The secretion of this sweat takes away most of the salt in the human body. If it is not replenished in time, the body's plasma osmotic pressure will be disordered, and heat stroke is very likely to occur. Therefore, people who often play outdoor activities in the summer might as well drink some salt water, which can replenish the salt outflow from the body, and can also play a role in cooling down and promoting blood circulation.

2. Tea leaves.

Tea contains a lot of potassium, which is an important nutrient needed by the human body. Proper potassium supplementation in summer can make muscles and nerves function normally and avoid fatigue and weakness. Drinking tea boiled in boiling water can replenish water and potassium at the same time, and restore vitality to a tired body. This is why many people like to bring a pot of tea when going out in summer.

3. Mung bean porridge.

Mung bean is a recognized top-grade product for cooling down the body. While cooling down the body, it can also moisten the throat and quench thirst, and it can also remove edema, clear away heat and reduce fire. Regardless of whether you have heatstroke or not, drinking a bowl of mung bean porridge on a hot summer day will make the body feel comfortable. However, it is not suitable to eat too much mung bean porridge, otherwise it may cause excessive coldness of the body or excessive fullness of the stomach and intestines.

4. Aged vinegar.

In summer, people secrete a lot of sweat, and many people can't help but drink a lot of water. At this time, gastric acid will be diluted, causing people to have a decreased appetite and unable to absorb heat, causing heat stroke. Therefore, eating some old vinegar in moderation can increase stomach acid, promote appetite, and kill bacteria in the stomach and intestines.

5. Eggplant.

Although eggplant tastes unpleasant, its cold nature can just eliminate the summer heat. In addition, it also has the effect of clearing away heat and removing fire, and is especially suitable for people who are prone to getting angry in summer. Eating eggplant can stimulate the secretion of saliva and gastric acid, which can relieve heat while improving appetite. In summer, you can drink eggplant juice or soup.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation during breastfeeding

1. Wearing clothes: Do not cover yourself up.

It is a normal physiological phenomenon for pregnant women to sweat a lot after giving birth. At this time, the human body uses sweat to eliminate the water added during pregnancy. You should wear long-sleeved tops, sports pants, and thin cotton socks to prevent the irritation of the joints by the wind. If the weather is hot, you should also reduce your clothes appropriately according to your own condition. Don't cover yourself blindly to prevent heatstroke.

3. Home: Don’t be boring.

In hot weather, you can use central air conditioning, cooling fans or hand-cranked fans. The room temperature should be maintained at around 26 degrees Celsius, which is comfortable for new mothers. But be sure to prevent the air from blowing directly onto the mother and baby. It is recommended that the air conditioner be turned on in the living room and the door of the pregnant woman's room be opened. When the humidity in the air is too high, you can use the dehumidification function of the central air conditioner. The indoor humidity is maintained at around 55%. Be sure to clean the central air conditioner filter frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria.

4. Environmental hygiene: cannot be avoided.

Pregnant women can usually take a shower 3 days after giving birth, but if it is a caesarean section, they must wait until the wound is completely healed and the stitches are removed before taking a shower. The body can be washed with warm water before. The shower time is about 10 minutes, the temperature is controlled at 45℃, and never take a cold shower. After bathing, wipe your hair and body quickly and change clothes to prevent fever, cold and stroke. You should insist on showering every day to keep the skin pores clear and sweat normally. During breastfeeding, pregnancy and the entire process of delivery, the mother's body loses a lot of high-quality protein. During the confinement period, you should pay attention to protecting your teeth, rinse your mouth after meals, and brush your teeth before going to bed to stay healthy.

5. Activities: Don’t be lazy.

You can get out of bed and walk around or do some simple gymnastics the next day after giving birth to speed up the body's recovery. You can take a walk, but be sure to avoid lifting objects or doing overly complicated housework to prevent uterine prolapse.

Diet during lactation

1. Black beans:

In ancient my country, people believed that grains were good for nourishment, but beans were not good. Eating beans is good for your health, especially black beans, which can replenish blood and darken hair. After giving birth, you can use black beans to cook black-bone chicken.

2. Carrots

Japan respectfully calls carrots "shan ginseng". They contain a lot of vitamins B2 and C, and also a lot of carotene. Carotene is very good for replenishing blood and qi, so carrot soup is a very good blood-replenishing soup.

3. Longan meat:

Fresh longan is on sale every summer. It is a blood-enriching food familiar to the people and contains many nutrients. Every 100g of melon pulp contains 65g of glycogen, 5g of protein, 118mg of phosphorus, 4.4mg of iron, 30mg of calcium, and is also rich in vitamins C and B. It can treat insomnia and depression caused by memory loss, palpitations, neurasthenia. Longan soup, longan gum, and longan wine are also very good blood-enriching foods for women after giving birth.

4. Red dates:

It is suitable for pregnant women with both Qi and blood deficiency, because they lose too much blood during delivery, have pale complexion, dizziness, rapid heart rate, pale lips and tongue, and look like anemia. Generally, heart blood deficiency, liver blood deficiency, and deficiency of both heart and spleen are common.
