Patient's question:
At 286 weeks of pregnancy, I haven't been eating much lately and always have a fever. I've eaten two large packs of Chrysanthemum and Mulberry, and now I've bought two large packs of Radix Isatidis, but haven't taken them yet. I heard that boiling chrysanthemum mixed with corn silk to drink can help remove fetal toxicity, and it's also said to reduce amniotic fluid. Can pregnant women drink chrysanthemum?Doctor's answer:
You can drink it, but don't be greedy, because chrysanthemum tea is cold. You can also drink rock sugar stewed pears, which can not only dispel phlegm-heat and treat asthma, nourish and moisturize the lungs, but also have a very good effect on the voice. We should pay attention to what we eat in daily life, avoid spicy foods, avoid oranges, and eat less or not eat hot seasonings, as these things are easily prone to "fire." During this period, we advocate a light diet and replenish sufficient water.
