What to pay attention to when you have a sore throat during pregnancy

Many pregnant friends will inevitably catch a cold and have a fever due to their reduced immunity after pregnancy. This is also very common. The common cold and fever can easily cause sore throat during pregnancy. Next, let’s understand what to do?

Pregnant women who have a cold and take medicine for treatment are afraid of affecting the fetus. 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 white sugar and ginger juice, and take 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, lift your head as high 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.

From the above article, we learned that the phenomenon of sore throat and palms during pregnancy is very normal. You can choose to drink more boiled water in normal times. Remember that you cannot use medication during pregnancy.
