Can postpartum rheumatism be relieved? Will it recur?

Patient's question:

Seven days after giving birth, a lump appeared on my face, it itched and sweated, and it looked a bit swollen. But it would be fine in a few days. However, when I left the house on the seventh day, I looked at my face and it seemed a bit swollen. My legs swelled when I was taking care of the child, but it's not serious now. Is this postpartum wind?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of postpartum rheumatism should be treated promptly and effectively to prevent serious complications from arising due to delayed treatment. Especially in winter, after a long period, this disease tends to become more severe. If you have postpartum rheumatism, do not worry or feel upset. Second, seek medical attention promptly and visit a regular hospital. Since the majority of symptoms are mild when they first begin, patients often do not take them seriously enough, failing to seek timely medical attention and thus missing the best opportunity for treatment. Moreover, when the condition worsens, the difficulty of self-healing naturally increases significantly.
