Patient's question:
I've had my child for 36 days, and I've always had no appetite. Bitter fluid keeps coming up in my mouth. I've been taking traditional Chinese medicine for a month, and now I have an appetite, but my mouth... besides spitting clear fluid, it hurts, the upper gum is always swollen, and I keep drooling. Sometimes my tooth also aches. What's wrong?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, your condition is likely to be caused by postpartum gastritis and oral ulcers, which may lead to symptoms such as acid reflux, belching, abdominal pain, and oral pain, as well as drooling. Your situation requires active symptomatic medication treatment. For your condition, I recommend resting more, eating small meals frequently, avoiding spicy and fried foods, paying attention to oral hygiene, and washing your face regularly after giving birth, especially after defecation. You can also use KouTai to wash your face.
