How to treat maternal cough quickly?

For women, the process of giving birth is extremely harmful to the body. For example, a lot of blood will be lost and wounds will be left. Therefore, women after childbirth are very weak and have very poor resistance, so they often have symptoms of coughing. At this time, women also have to breastfeed their babies, so they cannot take medicine to treat coughs casually. At this time, healthier methods of treating coughs should be adopted, especially dietary treatment is very important. In addition, you must pay attention to various aspects of your daily life. For example, mothers must keep warm. Even when the weather is warm, they should try to wear more clothes to avoid catching cold. The following introduces more treatments for mothers' coughs.

First, what to do about postpartum cold cough

The treatment principle of postpartum cold cough is to conduct syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the characteristics of blood loss and body fluid damage, internal blood stasis, and multiple deficiencies and blood stasis, in line with the principle of "do not be restricted to the postpartum period, and do not forget the postpartum period", combined with the condition of the disease. That is, postpartum weakness should be treated mainly by replenishing qi and blood, but the use of medication must be prevented from stagnating or aiding the evil. There is a lot of blood stasis after childbirth, and the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis should be used. However, the promotion of blood circulation and removal of blood stasis after childbirth must be supplemented with nourishing blood, so as to eliminate evil without hurting the body, and remove blood stasis without hurting the blood. When choosing prescriptions and medicines, you must take into account Qi and blood. To relieve depression, do not be too dissipating, to promote digestion, you must also support the spleen, to dispel cold, do not be too warm or dry, to clear heat, do not use too many bitter and cold medicines.

After giving birth, the mother's resistance will generally decrease, and she will be more susceptible to catching cold. At this time, the upper respiratory tract is most susceptible to infection. Once she catches a cold, fever is naturally inevitable. In addition, she is often accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, sore throat, cough or difficulty breathing. Although colds are not a disease specific to the postpartum period, they cannot be ignored by mothers.

You should increase your daily water intake, change your eating habits, and change your diet from "tonic" to "light". In addition, you can also take some mild cold medicine. If there is still no improvement, you can take cold medicine and antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, you should pay attention to the ventilation of the postpartum rest room and avoid contact with people with respiratory infections.

Second, eating more vegetables and fruits is beneficial to postpartum recovery

Vegetables such as bean sprouts, carrots, celery, etc. are rich in protein, vitamins, and fiber, which are essential nutrients for new mothers after childbirth. Protein helps repair damage, vitamin C helps restore elasticity, and fiber helps prevent constipation. They are the main contributors to new mothers' postpartum recovery. Fruits also play an indispensable role in this process. Take ordinary bananas and oranges as examples:

1. Bananas can promote the peristalsis of the large and small intestines and promote digestion, making them very suitable for postpartum women suffering from constipation. In addition, bananas can effectively relieve stress, eliminate fatigue, and relieve depression. The various trace elements, vitamins, riboflavin, etc. contained in them are beneficial to the postpartum recovery of new mothers.

2. The large amount of vitamin C contained in oranges plays a great role in restoring the elasticity of blood vessel walls and preventing postpartum hemorrhage. Not only that, oranges are also fruits that can promote milk secretion, can effectively control acute mastitis, and indirectly promote the baby's absorption of calcium through breast milk, effectively preventing the occurrence of rickets.

3. Brown sugar is rich in various trace elements, such as calcium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, etc., among which the iron content is particularly considerable. It can prevent anemia, promote blood circulation and dispel cold, promote the discharge of lochia, and help restore the uterus. Drinking brown sugar soaked in water has a great effect on the postpartum recovery of new mothers.
