I went on a trip on Saturday and Sunday two days ago. I woke up this morning with a swollen face.

Hello! First of all, I wish you a speedy recovery! Let me talk to you about "puffiness".

Edema, also known as edema, is caused by the accumulation of excess water throughout the body or in one part of the body. Many people have experienced swollen eyelids or swollen legs and feet in the morning. Some people don't take it seriously, while others are very nervous.

How do you know if you are bloated? What should I do if I have edema? Is edema necessarily a disease?

Swelling is most common on the face, especially the eyelids (eyelids), legs and feet. Heavy eyelids, difficulty opening eyes in the morning; swollen face or tight skin; rings that are usually easy to put on become tight or difficult to put on; fingers are swollen and difficult to bend; traces of elastic bands on socks on the feet become obvious or become original Shoes that fit well become tight, my feet feel heavy in the evening, and my skin feels swollen. These are all signs of edema. It is further clarified that you can use your thumb to press vertically on the instep or the upper inner side of the foot for about 30 seconds. If the skin dent cannot disappear, there must be edema.

Some edema is physiological and not caused by disease. It is closely related to lifestyle, such as not exercising enough during the day, not paying attention to physical exercise, blind weight loss, frequent irregular sleep or lack of sleep, excessive drinking, Wearing socks that are too tight, wearing high heels, staying in one position for a long time, etc. If you change your lifestyle and eating habits and take appropriate countermeasures, the edema will be reduced or disappeared. Edema is more common in women than in men because female hormone secretion changes cyclically. Edema before menstruation is called premenstrual edema and generally does not require special treatment.

Attention should be paid when edema is accompanied by other discomforts, as it may be caused by disease. Kidney disease is an important cause of edema, because the regulation of water in the body is mainly completed by the kidneys. If it is accompanied by changes in urine volume and color, foam in the urine, back pain, etc., kidney disease should be considered, and further urine tests and kidney function tests are required. Other diseases that can cause edema include heart disease, liver disease, malnutrition, thyroid disease, filariasis, etc. Some drugs, such as hormones, certain antihypertensive drugs, and morphine drugs, can cause edema, and the edema will disappear after stopping the drug.

The following introduces several prescriptions and folk remedies for treating "edema"

1. Take 100 grams of pork liver, 50 grams each of mung beans and rice. Wash out, add appropriate amount of water and cook into porridge. When the porridge is cooked, add the washed and chopped pork liver and cook until the liver is fully cooked. Eat it regularly without adding salt.

2. Use 6 grams of wheat germ. Place it on a tile and bake it until it turns yellow, then boil it in water to make a thick juice. Remove the residue and take it twice a day.

Friendly reminder: Please be sure to consult the local regular traditional Chinese medicine hospital for the above-mentioned prescriptions, and make your choice based on syndrome differentiation based on your own physiological characteristics and different pathological changes.
