2. The traditional "covering the confinement" is not advisable, but scientific wind protection is necessary. The key is to maintain air circulation but not to form convection wind.
3. If symptoms such as persistent headache and joint swelling persist for more than a week, it is recommended to receive professional postpartum rehabilitation treatment.
Summary: People suffering from wind during confinement need timely intervention. Through scientific warmth preservation, reasonable diet and proper rest, most symptoms can be relieved within 1-2 weeks. Remember that prevention is better than cure.
