Can I drink Isatis root if I catch a cold during the confinement period?

You cannot drink Isatis root if you have a cold during the confinement period, because drinking Isatis root during breastfeeding will affect the quality of milk and seriously affect the development of the fetus. Therefore, you cannot breastfeed if you drink Isatis root when you have a cold. However, Isatis root may not necessarily cure the cold. You should choose the treatment according to the cause of the cold. Isatis root is used to treat colds caused by wind and cold, as well as clear away heat and kill bacteria.

It is best for mothers not to rush to take medicine if they have a fever or a cold during breastfeeding. However, they can drink Isatis root if they have a cold during breastfeeding. It is also recommended that mothers drink Isatis root first to see the effect, and then take medicine and seek medical treatment if the situation is serious. Colds are the most common illness among breastfeeding mothers. Most of the time, it is caused by mothers sweating easily after giving birth, low resistance and busy postpartum period. At this time, the pure Chinese medicine preparation of Isatis root can cure the cold.

Isatis root is a commonly used Chinese medicine. It is cold in nature and bitter in taste. In terms of efficacy, it has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood, removing freckles, and relieving sore throat. In addition, isatis root contains a variety of antiviral substances, which have a strong inhibitory and killing effect on cold viruses, mumps viruses, hepatitis viruses and meningitis viruses.

At present, there is no clear medical evidence that breastfeeding mothers should not drink isatis root when they have a cold. However, it is still recommended that breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to the side effects of taking isatis root. The most common thing is that mothers take too much isatis root, which will stimulate the digestive tract and is not conducive to the normal gastrointestinal function of mothers.

Breastfeeding mothers are prone to catching colds, so it is best for them to rest more, drink more water, and eat more fruits and vegetables while taking Isatis root. It is also best to eat light and easily digestible food in daily life, and avoid spicy, raw, cold and other irritating foods. Mothers with a cold should wear a mask when breastfeeding to prevent the cold virus from being transmitted to the baby through the respiratory tract.

Finally, I would like to remind mothers who catch a cold while breastfeeding again that even if the cold can be cured with Isatis root, it is best to use the medicine correctly under the guidance of a doctor! Also, most colds are influenza, and mothers with poor health can easily get sick. It is best to do a good job of prevention and pay more attention to it in daily life.
