Coughing and abdominal pain in early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women should take good care of their bodies. During this period, it is best not to eat spicy foods, and they should also keep warm, otherwise it will be difficult to recover from a cold. Because pregnant women are inherently weak and prone to vomiting and coughing, pregnant women must obtain a doctor's diagnosis before taking medication. Otherwise, these medications can easily cause harm to the health of the fetus in the womb, thereby affecting the baby's development.

What to do if your stomach hurts during coughing during pregnancy

One possible cause is a cold, so the treatment is the same as for a common cold. But don't be too smart and take over-the-counter medicine (both Chinese and Western medicine) indiscriminately, because some Chinese and Western medicines for treating coughs may have an impact on the fetus. If you want treatment, you must go to the hospital to see a doctor so as not to harm the fetus.

What should pregnant women do if they cough? However, some pregnant women’s coughs are not caused by colds. According to traditional Chinese medicine, these expectant mothers originally have a relatively weak yin constitution. They will start coughing as soon as they become pregnant and will continue to cough until the fetus is born, greatly damaging the health of the fetus. The treatment method at this time is different from that of cough caused by cold, and must focus on stopping cough, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. Here we introduce to you some long-standing folk dietary treatments for coughs.

1. Stewed pears with rock sugar: Peel the fresh pears, split them in half and remove the cores. Add appropriate amount of rock sugar and steam them in a pot until soft.

2. Bake oranges: Use chopsticks to make a hole in the center of the bottom of the orange, stuff some salt in it, wrap it with aluminum foil, and bake it in the oven for 15-20 minutes. After taking it out, peel the orange peel and eat it while it is hot. Or you can dry the orange peel into dried tangerine peel, add water to make tea, and drink it in big gulps. It has amazing effects.

3. Stewed pear with Fritillaria cirrhosa: Use peeled and cored fresh pears, add 2 grams of Fritillaria cirrhosa powder, steam in a pot until soft, and eat while hot.

4. White radish candy: Cut the white radish into 1 cm dices, put it in a dry, clean container, fill it with honey, cover it tightly, soak it for about 3 days, the water will seep out and mix with the honey, store it in the refrigerator; scoop out a little each time and add warm water to drink, it has a very good cough-relieving effect. If you want to drink it suddenly and don’t have time to soak it, you can grind the white radish, add 1/3 amount of honey, mix well, and then add warm water to drink.

5. Sugar-boiled kumquats: Wash the kumquats, poke two or three holes with a toothpick, add water to cover them and bring to a boil, add rock sugar, simmer over low heat, and eat while hot. Let the unfinished drink cool down and store in the refrigerator. Scoop some out each time and eat it warm.

6. Do not eat sweets such as candies and biscuits. Cold, dry foods that can easily cause inflammation, such as peanuts, melon seeds, fried foods, etc. should also be avoided.
