Treatment of gastrointestinal cold in pregnant women

In daily life, many pregnant women have no appetite at this time due to the early stage of pregnancy, and they feel that they always don’t want to eat anything. So how should we deal with this situation? Next, we will introduce how to deal with this phenomenon of gastrointestinal cold in pregnant women.

If a pregnant woman catches a common cold, the main symptoms are sneezing, nasal congestion, and no fever. The symptoms are mild and she will recover on her own in about a week without taking cold medicine. In this case, a pregnant woman's cold will have no effect on the fetus. However, when the symptoms are more serious, such as persistent high fever, or the cold is not an ordinary cold but a cold caused by influenza virus infection. At this time, a pregnant woman's cold will have an impact on the fetus, which is mainly manifested in three aspects: First, the cold is caused by the influenza virus, and the impact of the pregnant woman's cold on the fetus is reflected in the impact of the influenza virus on the fetus; Second, the impact of the pregnant woman's cold on the fetus is also reflected in the impact of the medicine taken by the pregnant woman after the cold, and the impact of the medicine on the fetus; Third, if the pregnant woman has a fever due to a cold, and the fever is above 39 degrees, the impact of the pregnant woman's cold on the fetus is reflected in the impact of the high fever on the fetus. If you catch a cold during the first 5-12 weeks of pregnancy, the impact of the cold on the fetus will be greater. Because this period is the critical period for the growth and development of the fetus's organs, if the pregnant woman has severe cold symptoms during this period, whether it is the cold virus itself, the persistent high fever, or the anti-cold medicine, it will have a very big impact on the fetus. Pregnant women should take appropriate measures to choose whether to terminate the pregnancy under the advice and guidance of their doctor. In addition, the common cold in the second and third trimesters has little effect on the fetus. Pregnant women don’t need to worry too much. When the cold is serious, they can take some Chinese patent medicines with mild toxic side effects under the guidance of a doctor, such as Isatis root, Yinqiao, etc. VC prevents and treats colds. Common cold medicines mainly provide symptomatic treatment for various symptoms of colds, such as headache, fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, etc., and mainly relieve cold symptoms. Although drugs such as Isatis root and ribavirin have antiviral effects, these drugs have side effects and cannot be taken as health products for a long time. The dextrorotatory VC contained in Guoweikang VC lozenges can help the body prevent and treat colds by improving immunity and stimulating the production of antibodies.

The above is what we know about gastrointestinal colds in pregnant women. Generally speaking, we should take timely prevention and pay special attention to keeping warm during pregnancy. Since pregnant women are not allowed to use medications, catching a cold will make pregnant friends feel very painful.
