How can I get better quickly if I catch a cold?

Many mothers who have just given birth are very prone to illness because of their decreased body resistance. Colds are one of the conditions that mothers are very likely to get. This condition affects both the mother and the child because the baby needs to drink the mother's milk. When a mother catches a cold, people hope to cure it as soon as possible. Here is a detailed introduction on how to cure a mother's cold quickly.

Breastfeeding women are very likely to catch a cold because their bodies are weaker after childbirth and they sweat easily. In addition, their resistance is low and they are busy taking care of their babies after childbirth. Women who catch a cold during breastfeeding will not only feel physically uncomfortable, but the cold virus may also be transmitted to the baby through breast milk or contact, causing effects on the baby's body. Therefore, women should pay special attention to preventing colds during breastfeeding, and actively seek treatment once a cold occurs.

Due to breastfeeding, cold medicine can easily be passed to the baby through breast milk. Therefore, it is best to reduce the use of medication during breastfeeding. You can use active diet therapy, such as stewing pears with rock sugar: peel the fresh pears, split them open and remove the cores, add appropriate amount of rock sugar, put them in a pot and steam them until soft and then you can eat them. Drink more warm water and hold it in your mouth, which also has a good cough-relieving effect. Remember not to eat sweets such as candy and biscuits. Foods that are cold, dry, and easily cause inflammation, such as peanuts, melon seeds, and fried foods should also be prohibited. You can breastfeed if you have a cold. Just don’t turn your face towards the baby when breastfeeding, or wear a mask, drink more water, and you can also take some Chinese patent medicine.

If you find that you have a cold accompanied by a cough, you can prepare an egg, beat it, add a small amount of white sugar and ginger juice, and take it 2-3 times with half a cup of boiling water to stop the cough. Drink more hot soup, white radish water, and pear water. Use hot water to fumigate your mouth and nose to speed up the discharge of phlegm from the body. The indoor humidity should be maintained at 40-60. In addition, since the cold virus is contagious, an air purifier should be installed at home during the breastfeeding period, preferably one that is maternal and child grade, such as Shengyang, Yadu and other products. This will eliminate the cold virus and prevent the cold from being transmitted to the baby and other family members. Breastfeeding mothers who find themselves experiencing cold symptoms must remember not to take medicine indiscriminately or seek treatment blindly. First, they must control their diet and lifestyle habits, and exercise more during breastfeeding to prevent colds.
