Patient's question:
Sometimes the esophagus has a fever, acid reflux, and the coughed-up phlegm is slightly red, making it feel like the esophagus is bleeding. Is this situation serious?Help needed: It's really tough when this happens often. Is there any solution?
Doctor's answer:
For pregnant women with excessive stomach acid, the first choice food is peanuts. Peanuts are rich in nutrients, containing a large amount of protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fatty acids, lecithin, and more. Pregnant women can snack on some peanuts during their free time, but be careful not to eat too many. Additionally, it is best to consume boiled peanuts or boiled peanuts, and avoid fried peanuts. Eating a dozen or so peanuts after meals every day has a good effect on the synthesis and inhibition of stomach acid.If a pregnant woman's pregnancy symptoms cause excessive stomach acid and affect her appetite, she can eat some cornmeal porridge. This type of coarse grain is alkaline, which can not only relieve stomach acid but also strengthen the body and replenish various vitamins and minerals. However, due to individual differences in constitution, a small number of people may experience increased stomach acid secretion after eating cornmeal porridge. Please consume it first and then adjust based on your own reaction.
