My best friend has always advised Xiao Yuan, "It's okay. You weren't allergic before pregnancy, so you'll be fine if you eat less now." ?Xiao Yuan thought for a while and felt that it would be okay to eat less, so he started eating.

After treatment, Xiao Yuan’s allergic symptoms improved, but it left a shadow in his heart. From then on, Xiao Yuan never wanted to eat pineapples again and turned a blind eye to them.
