Can women drink chicken soup after giving birth?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am a young woman, 25 years old. I started weaning on the sixth day after giving birth. I have been taking B8 and sprouted barley water every day, but it hasn't been effective. May I ask if I can drink chicken soup postpartum?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the issue you are facing regarding your purchase, women have just given birth and your mother-in-law often cooks chicken for you. It is considered that eating chicken can help restore physical weakness after childbirth. You have just given birth, and your body is still quite weak, and there is a possibility of recurring brain edema. It is recommended to add a lot of Huang Qi (Astragalus), Fu Ling (Poria), Goji Berries, Jujubes, and similar foods when cooking the chicken.
Regarding this condition, patients should, in addition to necessary treatment, also pay attention to their daily care and ensure a good lifestyle. This will help them recover as quickly as possible.
