What should breastfeeding women do if they have a sore throat?

When a woman is breastfeeding, a large amount of nutrients in her body will enter the baby's body through breast milk. Therefore, if you do not pay attention to strengthening nutrition in time, it is likely that the woman's immune ability will decline and the body will be prone to certain diseases, such as sore throat. The following editor will introduce some treatments for sore throats in breastfeeding women.

Treatment methods for getting angry during lactation:

1. Distinguish between the real and the imaginary

It is generally believed that fire can be divided into two categories: "real fire" and "false fire". When mothers get angry during breastfeeding, they must distinguish whether it is real fire or false fire. Generally speaking, men tend to have more real heat, while women tend to have more false heat.

In addition, breastfeeding mothers should also figure out what kind of fire it is, such as lung heat, stomach, or heart fire. Stomach fire can have symptoms such as stomach pain, dry stool, and bad breath. Lung fire can have symptoms such as hemoptysis, cough, and yellow sputum. Liver fire can cause some irritability, insomnia, and breast pain in women. Heart fire can cause palpitations, insomnia, and irritability. Understanding the specific types of internal heat during breastfeeding can help mothers reduce internal heat.

2. Treatment of internal heat during lactation: Treat the symptoms

Breastfeeding mothers are prone to virtual fire, which is usually caused by blood deficiency and qi deficiency, and they are prone to yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire. Virtual fire cannot be treated with foods or medicines that can eliminate real heat, otherwise the physical condition will become weaker. At this time, it is even more necessary to understand your physical condition and take symptomatic food supplements to be effective. For example, eating lotus seed soup can eliminate heart fire, eating pork liver can eliminate lung fire, drinking mung bean porridge can eliminate stomach fire, drinking pear juice can eliminate liver fire, and eating pork kidneys can eliminate kidney fire.

However, when a breastfeeding mother has real heat, foods or medicines with strong cold properties, such as herbal tea and lotus seed core, are more likely to damage the yin energy. Therefore, it is best for breastfeeding mothers to use foods that are not easy to damage the yin energy, such as mung bean water and chrysanthemum tea, for diet therapy.

It is best for women not to take medicine on their own during breastfeeding, so as to avoid the medicine entering the baby's body through breast milk and causing adverse effects on the baby's health. Therefore, when you feel unwell, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time and take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. You should try to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
