What is the cause of phlegm during pregnancy?

Because of pregnancy, half of the nutrients in the body of pregnant women have to be distributed to the fetus in the belly, so the pregnant woman's body will become worse. At this time, pregnant women are likely to get some epidemic diseases, especially when the seasons change. If there is a flu, pregnant women are likely to catch a cold and produce a lot of phlegm. So why is there a lot of phlegm during pregnancy?

What is the situation of excessive phlegm during pregnancy?

1. Colds. Colds are an important cause of coughs in pregnant women. Pregnant women's rhinitis, trachea and other respiratory mucosa are thickened, edematous, congested, and their disease resistance is reduced. Therefore, it is easy to catch a cold at this time, and pregnant women with colds are often afraid that taking medicine will have adverse effects on the fetus. For example, some pregnant women have a high fever in the early stages of pregnancy and are afraid to take medicine, which affects the development of the fetal brain cells.

2. Physical weakness. Another important reason for pregnant women’s coughs is that their physical constitution is relatively weak. They start coughing after pregnancy, and the coughing symptoms disappear automatically after the baby is born. In this case, you should pay more attention to regulating your diet and rely on diet therapy to relieve the symptoms of cough.

3. Bronchitis, pharyngitis and respiratory tract infections. These diseases can also cause coughing. At this time, drinking a moderate amount of light salt water can be very helpful and can also play a preventive role.

1. Cold. This is one of the main factors that cause increased phlegm in the mouth, because after a cold, the human trachea and respiratory tract will cause symptoms of mucosal hypertrophy, and now there will be edema, which will also cause an increase in mucus.

2. Physical weakness. After pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body immunity will decrease, and many diseases will suddenly invade at this time, causing a series of reactions. In addition to increased sputum, it may also cause physical weakness. The body is often in a weak state, causing coughing and even nausea and vomiting. Symptoms of physical weakness must be treated quickly, and you can eat more nutritious food during this period.

3. Bronchitis. This disease is a common inflammatory infection of the respiratory system, which is mainly caused by stimulation from the air. For example, the living environment of pregnant women is often exposed to allergens, or the room temperature is not properly adjusted. If a pregnant woman has bronchitis, she needs to open the windows and ventilate frequently, and then boil some rock sugar and pear water, which can moisturize the throat and relieve phlegm and cough.
