Cold medicine suitable for pregnant women

We all know that doctors generally do not recommend pregnant women to take medicine if they are sick during pregnancy. For some relatively minor illnesses, doctors will ask pregnant women to drink more boiled water to detoxify through boiled water so that the disease can be cured. Because if pregnant women take medicine, it will have a particularly great impact on the fetus in the body and may cause fetal malformation. So, if pregnant women have a serious cold, what kind of cold medicine is suitable for them?

For common colds, we also recommend that pregnant women choose to treat their colds by drinking more water and following diet therapy. Expectant mothers also have a certain degree of immunity and are able to resist diseases.

If drug treatment is really necessary, expectant mothers should follow the doctor's advice and choose drugs with particularly small side effects. For example, it would be safer to choose Chinese patent medicine, which has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, as well as antiviral effect. The consumption of these Chinese patent medicines also needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

Some colds are caused by bacterial infections. There are many types of bacterial infections, such as tonsillitis or coughing with phlegm. For this type of disease, the nature of the medicine should be considered before making a choice.

Precautions for pregnant women to catch cold in summer

1. See a doctor and receive treatment. When most people catch a cold, they will first choose to trust their own bodies, hoping that their bodies have enough ability to resist the invasion of the virus. However, expectant mothers have special physical conditions, and if they catch a cold, they must not ignore it. Some colds are viral and the symptoms worsen faster. Therefore, pregnant women who catch a cold in the summer also need to be treated by a doctor and take reasonable treatment and medication under the doctor's guidance.

2. Drink water for treatment. If an expectant mother has a sore throat during a cold, some doctors do not recommend that she choose medication for treatment. Taking many aspects into consideration, it is still recommended that expectant mothers drink more water, which can effectively moisturize the throat and relieve sore throat problems. In addition to drinking more water, you can also choose dietary therapy. Many ingredients have the effect of reducing heat and moistening the throat, and can effectively relieve sore throats caused by colds.

3. Get more rest. If pregnant women have sore throat in summer, it is very necessary to pay more attention to rest. Getting more rest can effectively avoid physical fatigue and make you more energetic. Especially for viral colds in summer, pregnant women can get more sleep after taking medicine, giving themselves more energy to fight the virus. Pregnant women also need to adjust the indoor temperature and control the indoor humidity in summer to effectively resist virus attacks.

4. Avoid certain foods. If pregnant women catch a cold in the summer, they should pay attention to their dietary and drug treatments and pay attention to their dietary restrictions if they want to speed up their recovery. Some spicy foods are not suitable for pregnant women. For example, eat less fried foods. Citrus fruits are also foods that are prone to causing internal heat and are not suitable for pregnant women.

For pregnant women who catch a cold in the summer, diet therapy is safer to treat, but the effect of diet therapy is relatively slow, and expectant mothers need to endure more pain. However, the pregnancy process itself is a great process, and expectant mothers should still take the health of the fetus as the premise and then comprehensively choose the treatment plan for the cold.
