Throat pain when swallowing saliva during breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is a very sensitive period. The baby will eat whatever the mother eats during breastfeeding, so you cannot eat anything casually during breastfeeding, and you must be very cautious when taking medicine. Many women experience sore throats during breastfeeding, and even swallowing saliva is painful. What should I do if my throat hurts when I swallow during breastfeeding?

Most of the sore throat during breastfeeding is caused by tonsillitis. Pregnant women during breastfeeding are most likely to suffer from tonsillitis, which is mainly due to excessive work in daily life or inflammation caused by viral colds. No matter what the reason is, pregnant women do not need to be stressed or panic, they just need to make reasonable adjustments in their diet. Pregnant women with milder symptoms can take some drugs to treat tonsillitis under the guidance of a doctor and drink more water for prevention.

With a sore throat, it becomes difficult to eat, let alone drink more water, but even so, you should drink more water. Pregnant women can talk less to allow the throat to get enough rest. When they feel pain, they can drink some boiled water. In addition, pregnant women can use Houttuynia cordata to boil water and take a small amount of Houttuynia cordata tea every day, which can also improve the condition of throat inflammation. Try to choose light dishes in your daily diet.

Pregnant women during breastfeeding can already get out of bed and walk. At this time, they can also try to do some exercises, such as yoga or housework, which are all very good choices. Exercise can effectively distract attention and relieve the pain in the throat. At the same time, after exercise, the body will excrete a lot of toxins, making people feel more comfortable.

It is also very difficult for mothers during breastfeeding. If they provide breast milk to their babies, they need to pay attention to many things. For example, in terms of diet, breastfeeding mothers should avoid eating cold foods, and try to avoid eating foods such as amaranth and ginseng that may cause milk to stop flowing. It is also said that during breastfeeding, women often experience insufficient milk or excessive breast milk. For mothers with insufficient milk, in order to provide their babies with a normal balance of breast milk supply and demand, they sometimes need to force themselves to take a lot of foods that promote milk secretion. Mothers who have too much breast milk often have to endure the pain of milk engorgement.
