How to treat sore throat during pregnancy

We often encounter colds in our daily lives and it is not a big deal. Now it is summer and it is easiest to catch a cold when using air conditioning. In serious cases, you may have a stuffy nose, sore throat, or even a fever. Just take some medicine and you will be fine. But it is different for pregnant women. During pregnancy, their disease resistance decreases, especially in the cold winter, so they are very likely to catch a cold. However, taking medicine casually may have a bad effect on the baby. Here I will introduce some medicines that can help you get better faster and have no effect on your baby.

If a pregnant woman catches a cold, the fetus will suffer from oxygen deprivation in the uterus, so she still needs to take the necessary medicines. Mild colds such as sneezing, runny nose, and cough can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, such as Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, cold and fever reducing granules, Isatis root granules, etc. Severe colds, such as fever, sneezing, coughing, and yellow and thick nasal discharge, often indicate a complicated infection and require the use of antibiotics. Penicillins are the first choice. When penicillin cannot be used due to allergy, lincomycin, clindamycin, or erythromycin can be used instead. Use physical methods to help pregnant women reduce fever whenever possible. Encourage pregnant women to drink more water and eat more fruits to excrete toxins through urine. If the high fever persists, use Claritin or Tylenol if necessary. When you have a cold, drink plenty of water and get enough rest. You can take medicine in moderation. The reason why a cold does not heal for a long time is because the body's immunity is weak. The most fundamental way is to improve the body's immunity, which can better prevent the occurrence of colds. Be sure to increase outdoor exercise to improve the body's immunity.

Only when the various functions of the human body reach a balanced state can health be guaranteed. Pregnant mothers should also drink more water, rest more, and have a regular life and diet in daily life. Don't take medicine randomly, it will cause great harm to your child. It is recommended to eat some easily digestible food and drink more soup, which is very good for the body. It is normal for pregnant women to catch a cold. The methods of treating colds introduced above are very effective for pregnant women. They can quickly restore their health without affecting the baby.
