How to treat a cold during summer pregnancy

What should I do if I catch a cold during summer pregnancy? There are many things that women need to pay attention to during pregnancy, especially in the first three months of pregnancy. Generally, they need to pay attention to avoid catching a cold in early summer. However, sometimes, such situations are often difficult to avoid. Many women will catch a cold during pregnancy. So when this happens, how should women actively respond? Regarding this issue that everyone is concerned about, I will give you a detailed introduction below.

1. Use 2 or 3 pieces of scallion (must be fresh scallion, not other parts), about the length of your thumb, add 2 or 3 slices of peeled ginger, add water and boil together. Both ingredients should be put into the pot with cold water and boil together. It is best to use a casserole instead of a metal pot. You can boil it down to 2 or 3 times the amount (and boil it again next time you drink it), but I only boil down a small bowl of it each time. After drinking it while it is hot, cover yourself with a blanket and have a sleep immediately. It helps to reduce fever and induce sweating.

2. Boil water with fresh lilies until they are soft. Eat the lilies and drink the lily water instead of your daily drinking water to remove internal heat and prevent colds. Lily water is also very effective for sore throats. This is my favorite because lily has a naturally sweet flavor. The taste of lily water is similar to boiled water, nothing special.

3. Use the root of the cabbage, which is the part that we don’t use and is often cut off when eating cabbage. Wash it, add green onion and boil it in water. Drink it while it is hot. It has the effect of reducing fever and inducing sweating.

You must get more sleep when you have a cold. If your body temperature rises but feels only slightly higher than normal, you can drink some naturally cooled boiled water, drink more water and go to the toilet more often to eliminate toxins and internal heat in your body in time.

4. Eat light meals, for example, only drink millet porridge and pickles, or only eat vegetables and fruits for one or two days, and no meat. Eating less fish and meat for one or two days will not have any effect on you and your baby. You can also reduce the amount of staple food appropriately. For example, if you usually eat 2 taels of rice in one meal, then you can leave a small spoonful of it uneaten during the meal.
