Postpartum cough, phlegm, itchy throat

Generally, the body is weak after giving birth, which is the so-called confinement period. It requires good conditioning and rest, and eating more nutritious foods. Only if the confinement period is done well can you have more milk to feed your baby, which will be more beneficial to the body's healthy recovery. If the confinement period is not done well, it is easy to cause harm to the body. But why do some mothers always cough and have phlegm during the confinement period?

Is it serious for a mother to have a cough and phlegm during confinement?

If a mother keeps coughing during the confinement period, she should be careful and not use any medicine. Mothers should ask their family members to make some scallop and pear water for you first. The mother should drink it regularly, so that there will be a certain effect. You can also try 9-15 grams of loquat seeds and 3 slices of ginger. First, mash the loquat seeds, then put them into a pot together with ginger, add water and boil, remove the residue and take it twice a day.

How to prevent colds during confinement

1. The room should be ventilated, but avoid direct wind. Open the windows appropriately in both winter and summer to ventilate and keep the indoor air fresh.

2. In winter, keep the room temperature at 22-26 degrees Celsius. In summer, to avoid heatstroke, the indoor air-conditioning temperature should be controlled at around 28 degrees Celsius. It is best to maintain a constant temperature and avoid sudden changes in temperature.

3. During the confinement period, the mother should dress appropriately, not too much or too little. The quilt should also be covered appropriately. It is easy to catch a cold if you cover it for a while and then not cover it for a while.

There are many taboos for mothers during the confinement period. The body is relatively weak during this period, so everyone must pay attention to arranging rest time reasonably. If you have a cold and feel uncomfortable, you should make sure to isolate yourself from your children. Children are still young and are very susceptible to bacterial infections and may experience various discomfort symptoms.
