What should I do if I catch a cold during early pregnancy?

Many pregnant women will experience cold symptoms shortly after they become pregnant. This is because after pregnancy, the pregnant woman's endocrine system is more active, the metabolism is faster, and she sweats more. At this time, if the cold wind blows, she is very likely to experience symptoms of a cold. However, if improper medication is used after a cold, it may have adverse effects on the fetus. So, what should you do if you experience cold symptoms in early pregnancy?

Treatment:

1. If the symptoms are mild, there is no need to take medicine. You can also use Chinese patent medicines such as cold granules. If the cold does not cause fever and is not particularly serious, it is best not to take those medicines. Drink more ginger soup. If you have a stuffy nose, cover it with a hot towel. Also, drink more water.

2. After pregnancy, there will be certain changes in the enzymes in the pregnant woman's body. Many drugs are not easy to detoxify and excrete, and cumulative poisoning may occur. When the fetal organs are formed in the early pregnancy, the drugs have a certain impact on the fetus, so it is best not to take medicine for a cold. However, not all cold symptoms in early pregnancy cannot be treated with medicine. Some diseases can cause great harm to the child and the mother. At this time, you should weigh the pros and cons and use medicine reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Maintaining a cheerful mood, adequate rest and nutrition can enhance your physical strength, so as soon as you feel tired, you can rest and enjoy enough sleep.

4. If the high fever persists, you should go to the hospital for treatment if the condition is serious.
