What should I do if I suddenly swell after drinking milk powder during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am five months pregnant and three days after starting to drink formula milk, I suddenly swelled up. About ten days ago, I had swelling that wasn't painful or itchy, and it felt like my nose was on fire. A few days ago, I avoided certain foods, and it somewhat subsided. But recently, I haven't been avoiding much, and the swelling has gotten much worse. I want to know what this is and if it could be harmful to the baby.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you! Based on your description, it seems you want to consult about discomfort during pregnancy. From your description and the images, it appears to be severe bloating caused by an upset stomach, which should not be harmful to the baby. I recommend drinking more water, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoiding spicy and gassy foods.
This is the advice for the question "I'm five months pregnant and suddenly swelled up three days after drinking milk powder, and it happened about ten days ago." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
