How to remedy the problem of hands getting exposed to cold water during confinement?

After I had just given birth, I was always feeling irritable and couldn’t see anything when I was recuperating at home. One day, I saw some washed clothes in the basin. I was anxious but didn’t think too much about it. I just washed the clothes with cold water. But two days later, I feel pain in my fingers that were touched by the cold water. I regret my action very much, especially when it is cloudy and rainy, my fingers become numb and sore. What should I do now? Will I get a stroke or something like that?

Since the mother's body is relatively weak after childbirth, it is the period of fastest recovery and also the period when she is most susceptible to illness. At this time, she should take care to prevent cold. If her fingers are dipped in water, first soak them in water with medicated wine every night, or Chinese medicine such as Panax notoginseng that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and then rinse them. Ensure more than 30 minutes a day, and 30 days is a course of treatment.

You can also use some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs orally, but it should be noted that you should take some Chinese herbal medicines as much as possible, because the mother needs to breastfeed the newborn after delivery to prevent adverse effects on the newborn through breast milk. The effects of decoctions made from herbs such as Angelica dahurica, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Asarum, Viscum album, Eucommia ulmoides, Achyranthes bidentata, Cassia bark, Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Paeonia lactiflora, Rehmannia root, and Codonopsis pilosula are remarkable.

Then we should pay attention to keeping warm in our daily life. Wear thick gloves when going out, avoid washing things with cold water, ensure adequate nutrition and sleep to prevent osteoporosis in postpartum women, and eat more vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits. Move your cold fingers more often. Promote the recovery of functional position.

Note:

Don't be nervous after touching cold water after delivery, because bad emotions during delivery will affect the recovery of other parts of the body. Apply medicated hot compresses to your fingers on time every day, eat more nutritious foods, avoid catching cold, and keep warm. Take it step by step and things will get better slowly.
