What is fetal poison?
In fact, there is no such thing as fetal poison in medicine, but in reality, many expectant mothers will "remove fetal poison" during pregnancy. "Removing fetal poison" is very popular in the south, because the climate in the south is hot and humid, and many expectant mothers are also hot and dry. Therefore, pregnant women should do the work of removing fetal poison before delivery, otherwise the skin will be prone to sores and rashes after the baby is born. So, what is fetal poison?
"Fetal poison" is a common name for severe postpartum acute allergy, which is mainly manifested in various skin allergic reactions, such as furuncle, scabies, acne rash and so on. "Introduction to Pediatrics" records: "Every newborn baby, a few months old or one year old and less than two years old, has a sore knot on the head, face, lips and other places, which is as thin as millet grains. When the white pus head breaks, it will be connected into pieces, and it will be painful and painful, and it will always flow out with yellowish and fishy pus. Good skin nearby, once infected with yellow pus, turns into a sore, and at first it festers and becomes red and swollen outside the skin. If it is not treated, it gradually spreads to the muscle surface, and it also turns pale, red and swollen and festers. If there is no cure, it will spread from the head to the body for a long time. This is called fetal poison. " There is a cloud in Young Children's Collection: "Any occurrence of fetal toxicity, such as insect scabies, bleeding, wet sores, carbuncle and furuncle, tuberculosis, heavy tongue, goose's mouth ulcers, is also related to husband's fetal fever, fetal cold, fetal tetany and fetal yellow." This disease is mainly caused by the pregnant and lying-in women's wanton eating of pungent and hot food, fat and sweet taste, or improper adjustment of life, or depressed and sad thinking, emotional frustration and other factors, and the legacy is caused by the fetus.
Folk fetal poison, in Chinese medicine, is internal heat. The so-called "fetal poison" is actually seborrheic dermatitis of infants, the symptoms of which are rash on the skin of infants, which may be related to the internal heat constitution of mothers.
Baby's eczema, thrush, etc., the causes of various diseases are different, and it cannot be generalized as "fetal poison". It is even more undesirable to get rid of "fetal toxicity" through drugs. Some drugs are not suitable for pregnant mothers or food with medicinal properties. If eaten improperly, it is likely to damage the body and the baby in the uterus, and even cause premature delivery. It is suggested that expectant mothers should adhere to a reasonable diet and eat more vegetables and fruits to ensure a balanced intake of nutrition, and at the same time avoid spicy, greasy and overnutrition. If the pregnant mother is allergic, it is best to do some detailed screening in a regular hospital to prevent the baby from getting this allergen from breast milk, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the baby in the future.

I always went to bed before 10, and got up to breathe fresh air as soon as the alarm clock rang at 7: 00 in the morning. Precautions: Eat less spicy, fried and greasy food, and keep a good mood.
