Pregnancy is the biggest event in a woman's life besides marriage. It is said that a woman must be pregnant at least once to be considered complete. Many pregnant women will experience varying degrees of discomfort during pregnancy, but they cannot take any medicine during pregnancy, including anti-inflammatory drugs. So what should a pregnant woman do if she catches a cold and has phlegm during pregnancy? Below I will tell you a few simple methods. What should pregnant women do if they have a cold and cough? Method 1: When you find a mild cough, you can drink more cold boiled water to relieve the cough symptoms. Generally speaking, drinking more warm boiled water will make pregnant women sweat slightly, and can also replenish moisture in the throat of pregnant women, thereby alleviating cough symptoms. Under normal circumstances, doctors do not recommend the use of medication to treat mild colds and coughs. Method 2 for pregnant women to deal with colds and coughs: Drinking salt water is effective in relieving coughs caused by bronchitis, pharyngitis and respiratory tract infections, and can play a preventive role. Method 3 for pregnant women to deal with colds and coughs: Make ginger soup. Put two slices of fresh ginger in 500 ml of cold water, boil it, add a spoonful of brown sugar, and give it to the pregnant woman. This is mainly because ginger has the effect of warming the middle and dispersing cold, while brown sugar has the effect of warming the middle and harmonizing the stomach. This method is suitable for cough caused by colds. Method 4 for pregnant women to deal with colds and coughs: Boil water with pears, rock sugar and red dates to drink: Preparation method: cut the pear into cubes, boil it with red dates first, then add rock sugar and continue to boil. This is a simple and easy method and drinking a few cups a day will help treat your cough. After pregnancy, you should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink more water, preferably warm water, and exercise more to enhance your immunity. Your home must be kept clean and not too dry. If someone in your family has a cold, it is best to stay away from him to avoid being infected, and the indoor air must be well circulated. This is the only way to effectively avoid catching a cold during pregnancy. |
