Patient's question:
I am currently 8 months and 10 days pregnant. Recently, I have been eating hot pot more often and am worried about my baby getting too hot. Could you please advise on how to reduce the "heat" in my body in this situation? Thank you~~Doctor's answer:
If you have a "hot" condition during pregnancy, it may be related to not resting well or drinking less during this period. During this time, eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drink more water and get adequate rest. It is not recommended to use any medications during pregnancy for women. For your condition, it is suggested to eat some cooling foods, including fruits, to regulate it. Pay attention to your diet by eating more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, drinking more water and less sweet and sour drinks, eating less spicy and fried foods, and reducing smoking and drinking. Also, pay attention to self-psychological regulation.
