Tips for treating cold and stuffy nose during breastfeeding

What should I do if I have a stuffy nose and a cold while breastfeeding? It is very difficult for mothers to breastfeed. They have to take care of the baby and feed the baby. Once they catch a cold or have a fever, they will have a runny nose and a stuffy nose, which makes them extremely uncomfortable. For the health of their baby, they are afraid to take any medicine casually. The smell of a stuffy nose is really unpleasant. My nasal cavity cannot ventilate and I can only breathe through my mouth. What are some tips for treating colds and nasal congestion during breastfeeding?

If the influenza virus is killed, the nasal mucosa will not need to metabolize a lot of nasal fluid, and the nasal congestion will be cured. Therefore, the fundamental cause of nasal congestion is to eliminate the flu virus. If the flu is cured, the corresponding symptoms will disappear. Here I would like to share with you some tips on relieving cold and nasal congestion during breastfeeding.

1. Apply the fried ginger powder to the soles of the feet (very effective for nasal congestion caused by colds)

1. The medical device patch therapy used is very convenient and is exactly the same size as the sole of the foot. Chop the ginger slices and stir-fry until hot. I didn't take a picture of it yet. Use a small frying pan, low heat, and stir-fry continuously for about 1 minute. After frying, put it evenly on the gauze in the middle of the application therapy.

2. Stick it on the middle of the baby's forefoot and sole. The gauze has a large area and the baby's feet are small, so this one is enough. Remember to put on cotton socks after applying it to prevent it from falling off when you sleep at night.

3. Remove the patch therapy the next morning

4. After applying it for one night, there was no skin allergy or other reaction on my feet. It is very safe

5. Ginger foam has been applied all night, and it has already been done

If the baby does not cooperate, you can wrap him/her up when he/she is asleep, and then put on a pair of cotton socks to make it more appropriate. You don't have to worry about not wrapping him/her tightly enough or the ginger foam running out. It is very convenient and has no side effects. When your baby is sick with a fever, there is no need to give him antipyretics or intravenous drips! This is very simple and effective for mothers with nasal congestion. Give it a try!

2. Wash your feet with warm water to promote blood circulation

Hot water foot bath can promote the body's blood circulation. Adding some ginger slices when soaking feet in hot water can have a multiplier effect on relieving the symptoms of fever, cold and nasal congestion. When soaking feet in hot water, wash feet with warm water for about 40 minutes, until the body sweats slightly. Washing feet with warm water can promote blood circulation and excrete unnecessary waste toxins. Sweating is one of the ways for the body to detoxify. Once the human body's blood circulation system is smooth, the capillaries in the nasal cavity will also recover, and nasal congestion will get better. Whether you have a runny nose, a cold, a fever, or a stuffy nose, you can soak your feet in hot water, which is very economical and healthy.

3. Strengthen exercise, accelerate blood circulation, and quickly improve nasal congestion

Fitness exercises can speed up the body's blood circulation system. When the blood circulation system is smooth, nasal congestion will disappear. This has been certified by many people. The best way for Bao Mama to choose exercise is to take a walk, and the speed can be faster.

Excessive exercise can improve nasal congestion in a short time. For example, jogging, small jumps, weighted squats, and even plank support, continuing for a minute or two will immediately clear your nose! I have a friend who has suffered from rhinitis for more than ten years and has habitual nasal congestion. His method of relieving nasal congestion is this: first do 50 high-leg raises while standing still, and the nasal congestion will definitely be relieved; then lie in bed and do 50 supine reps until your body is slightly sweaty, and the next day not only the nasal congestion is gone, but even the fever and cold are gone!

4. Diet therapy

For colds and fever, in addition to the physical treatment methods mentioned above, diet therapy is also the most effective. It is really effective and many people have accidentally verified it many times. The best thing for colds (colds, coughs, runny noses) is brown sugar ginger water. Drink two times of hot brown sugar ginger water, combined with hot water foot bath, the cold will be cured quickly. The principle of applying the fried ginger foam to the soles of the feet mentioned above is the same. Ginger slices stimulate the acupuncture points of the body, make the whole body warm, promote blood circulation, and dispel the cold in the body. For wind-heat colds (fever, sore throat, runny nose in light green color), drinking loquat leaf, rock sugar and pear water is the most effective. My daughter had a stuffy nose due to influenza and fever, and she got better after drinking loquat leaf, rock sugar and pear water twice.
