What should pregnant women eat to get better quickly from a cold?

During pregnancy, pregnant women's resistance to disease decreases and they are very susceptible to catching colds. Pregnant women who have a cold may take medicine but are afraid that it will affect the fetus. Eating porridge, fruits, vegetables, etc. can help women get better quickly after a cold. They can also drink some freshly squeezed juice and pay attention to rest! So what can you eat to get better faster? Let's take a look.

Here are some ways to treat colds without taking medicine or injections:

1. When your throat starts to itch and hurt at the beginning of a cold, immediately gargle and rinse your mouth and throat with concentrated salt water every 10 minutes. It will be effective after more than 10 times.

2. Drinking chicken soup can relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose during a cold, and it is also effective in clearing respiratory viruses. Drinking chicken soup regularly can enhance the body's natural resistance and prevent the occurrence of colds.

3. Use a metal spoon and place it in boiling water to warm it up (to a degree that does not burn your hands), then place it on the "cold-curing point" on the surface of your palm and massage. If there is any abnormality in a certain area, strengthen the massage there. After a short heat massage, stimulate the area with a spoon soaked in cold water. For those with mild colds or coughs, stimulate 5-10 times using the above method. The cold-treating point on the palm is located between the thumb and index finger of the left hand (near the base of the thumb) and on the palm surface below the second joint of the right thumb.

4. Pour hot water at about 42°C into a thermos teacup. People with a cold should put their mouth and nose into the mouth of the cup and continuously inhale the hot steam, three times a day.

5. If you have a cough, beat an egg, add a small amount of sugar and ginger juice, and drink it 2-3 times with half a cup of boiling water to stop the cough.

6. When you first catch a cold and start to feel itchy in your nose and throat, do the following exercises 2-3 times and you will be cured. The method is: stand upright with your feet slightly apart, straighten your neck, raise your head as far as possible, open your eyes wide, stick out your tongue as long as possible, straighten all ten fingers of both hands, and then exert force from the top of your head to your hands and toes until your whole body trembles and makes a continuous "ah" sound, repeat 2-3 times. You can take Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets, take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, drink more water, eat more vegetables, and don't eat spicy food. You can boil some brown sugar ginger water for your mother to drink, which is effective in treating colds and nasal congestion. Pay attention to rest. As for medicine, you can take Chinese patent medicine, such as Isatis root granules. Ginger is the most effective for treating colds and stuffy noses. You can drink some brown sugar ginger tea, which is water soaked with ginger slices and brown sugar.

If you have a cold and a sore throat, you need to pay attention to rest, drink plenty of boiled water, avoid taking tonic products, avoid eating spicy food, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Generally, symptoms will gradually improve. If the symptoms are more serious, you can take Chinese patent medicines such as Pueraria lobata anti-inflammatory oral liquid or Isatis indigotica mixture to treat colds by clearing away heat and detoxifying, and fighting inflammation and reducing swelling. Don't take medicine blindly, as medicines have toxic side effects. Moreover, colds are generally caused by viruses, and they are self-limiting. They can usually heal themselves in about a week. Get adequate rest. Ensure adequate sleep, more sun exposure, drink plenty of water, and have a healthy body to give birth to a healthy baby!
