What to drink to quench thirst during confinement

In many areas, it is traditional that women are not allowed to drink water during the confinement period. However, pregnant women sweat a lot during childbirth, which causes a lot of water to be lost from the body. If they are not allowed to drink water in the summer, dry mouth will become more serious, and the body will not be able to recover quickly in a short time. It may even threaten your life. So, what should you drink to quench your thirst when you have dry mouth during confinement?

The simplest way to replenish water and moisturize after childbirth is to drink water, but it is recommended to drink warm water. You can also relieve dry mouth by the following methods: 1. Drinking some millet soup can also improve the situation of dry mouth. Drinking soup can help pregnant women absorb more water, which can relieve dry mouth in pregnant women. 2. Eating apples properly can replenish water. Apples can help quench thirst, and eating apples can also ensure that the mother's body gets the dietary fiber it lacks. 3. Take vitamin C tablets. Mothers with more severe dry mouth can take vitamin C orally, and it is recommended to swallow it with warm water.

When a pregnant woman is giving birth, her body will lose a lot of fluids, such as blood, sweat, saliva, etc., and she is prone to sweating after giving birth. After a large amount of water in the body flows out, it will send signals to the brain through the nerve center, causing a feeling of dry mouth. The growth hormone released during breastfeeding can cause dry mouth in mothers. Breast milk is composed of water and a variety of nutrients, and can produce 700-800 ml per day. Therefore, during lactation, there will be more water "loss", so it is necessary to replenish water in large quantities, or drink more fish soup, chicken soup, milk and water.

If you experience unbearable dry mouth and weight loss while breastfeeding, you need to consider whether you have diabetes or hyperthyroidism. Many diabetics experience increased urination due to high blood sugar. At this time, even if you drink a lot of water, you will still feel dry mouth, drink more, eat more, urinate more, and lose weight. People with hyperthyroidism often feel dry mouth, rapid fatigue, muscle fatigue, panic, and irritability. If you encounter this situation, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to ask an endocrinologist for treatment, and at the same time ensure the daily physiological needs of water.
