What to do if your baby has too much moisture in his body

Dampness. In fact, famous experts have done research and investigation, and it turns out that everyone has dampness in their body to a greater or lesser extent, so it is an unavoidable phenomenon. Even some newborn babies will have dampness in their bodies. And if the mother of some babies has dampness in her body, the dampness in the baby's body will be quite serious after the baby is born. So how do you remove moisture from your baby’s body? Today I will tell you what to do if your baby has too much moisture in his body.

To treat heavy dampness, you should: 1. Eat mainly light, spicy and warm food, drink in small amounts, and don't eat too much; 2. Relax, maintain a regular schedule, and exercise appropriately; 3. People who live in humid areas for a long time should get more sun and wear dry, sweat-absorbent clothes. We should adopt the principle of keeping dry rather than wet, keeping quiet rather than moving, and keeping warm rather than cold.

When there is dampness in the body, the stool will be blue in color, loose and soft without any shape, and there will always be a feeling of incomplete excretion. Over time, the toxins produced by stool retention accumulate in the body, causing a variety of diseases.

Help your child to "remove dampness" like this

1. Ventilate frequently and dehumidify frequently

In fact, dampness can be divided into "external dampness" and "internal dampness". External dampness is mainly caused by damp weather outside or by the invasion of dampness into the body due to wading, rain or a damp home. Many people may initially suffer from external dampness. In order to remove dampness, they drink too much herbal tea or eat too much raw and cold food, which damages the spleen and stomach, leading to spleen deficiency and inability to transport and transform water and dampness. Dampness naturally becomes internal, and the external dampness becomes internal dampness.

To eliminate external moisture, do not let your baby stay in a humid place for a long time, and try not to play in humid places outside. Don't open windows often when it's humid or rainy, but it's best to keep the room ventilated and dehumidify indoors. Especially in rainy seasons, you may want to turn on the dehumidifier or heater more often to keep the room dry. This is very helpful for your baby to avoid skin diseases! In addition, do not force your baby to wear clothes that are not dry. Make sure to keep your baby warm and prevent him from catching cold.

2. Exercise more to eliminate dampness

Among all the methods of water discharge, sweating during exercise is the one that cannot be ignored. Health management experts believe that in the summer, engaging in moderate exercise can not only enhance physical fitness and improve the body's resistance to disease, but also aid digestion, promote blood circulation, and thus prevent the generation of endogenous dampness. Because children like to jump around and sweat a lot, this helps to remove moisture.

At the same time, when exercising, the body sweats slightly, which can also take away excess water from the body. It is recommended to exercise in the early morning or evening when it is relatively cool. During exercise, if you sweat too much, you can drink mung bean salt water soup appropriately. Do not drink a lot of cold boiled water, and do not immediately rinse your head or shower with cold water to prevent your baby from catching a cold.

3. Drink the dehumidifying soup skillfully

If the baby is suffering from internal dampness, the mother may wish to use ingredients such as yam, coix seed, lentil, corn, etc. that have the effect of removing dampness and strengthening the spleen to make a dampness-removing soup for the baby. Before drinking the dehumidifying soup, you should also distinguish whether the nature of the dampness is "cold dampness" or "damp heat" so that the right ingredients can be used for better results. People with cold and dampness have thick, greasy, white tongue coating, a bland taste in the mouth, or even a sweet taste. At the same room temperature, they feel colder than others and feel more comfortable when drinking hot water. If moisture is trapped in the body for a long time, it will turn into heat and become damp heat. People with damp heat have thick, greasy yellow tongue coating, dry and bitter mouth, loose and uncomfortable stools, and yellow urine.

People with cold and dampness can drink dehumidifying soup. You can choose 10 grams of cardamom, 30 grams of lentils, 100 grams of corn, 50 grams of Poria cocos, 15 grams of galangal, etc. to stew lean pork or pork bones to warm the yang and eliminate dampness. People with damp heat can choose to use galangal, lentils, 30 grams of angelica sinensis and 30 grams of wild yam to eliminate dampness and clear heat, or directly boil angelica sinensis water to drink, which has a good effect of removing dampness and clearing heat.
