What to do if you have a sore throat during early pregnancy

Many expectant mothers have experienced sore throats in the early stages of pregnancy. What causes this condition? What should you do if you have a sore throat in the early stages of pregnancy? I believe that there must be a lot of people who want to know the answer to this question. I have collected the following points and hope it can help everyone. Friends who want to know, please take a look.

Sore throat in early pregnancy is a possibility of throat pain and discomfort caused by early respiratory tract infection in pregnancy. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. In this case, it is best to avoid spicy food. It is recommended to actively choose Shuanghuanglian to help improve the discomfort when necessary. At the same time, considering that it has little impact on the child's development, just eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and avoid fatigue.

A sore throat in early pregnancy may also be caused by a cold, and anti-cold medicines are mostly compound preparations containing multiple ingredients. Common ones include Quick-Acting Cold Capsules, Ganmaotong, Contac, Baijiahei, Kangbid, Kegankang, Kuake, etc. Most of these medicines contain histamines and should not be taken during pregnancy, especially before 4 weeks of pregnancy. Cold medicines are mainly symptomatic drugs that only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. They are not safe for pregnant women, so the author recommends that pregnant women should not use anti-cold medicines.

Pregnant women are in a special period during pregnancy and cannot take medicine casually. There are several ways to deal with sore throats in pregnant women:

1. Massage Zhaohai point: Zhaohai point is located on the inner side of the foot, in the depression below the tip of the inner ankle. Pressing this point can clear the throat. However, the pressure should not be too strong. It should be enough to feel soreness, numbness, and swelling. The best time is 5 to 10 minutes. The effect will be better if you combine it with pressing acupoints such as Lieque, Taixi and Tiantu, etc.

2. Lotus root juice can treat sore throat: Gargling with lotus root juice and egg white is very effective in treating sore throat after a cold. Egg white can moisturize the throat and relieve cough; lotus root can eliminate fatigue and soothe the spirit. The method is to peel and wash the lotus root, mash it to squeeze out the lotus root juice, mix it with egg white (1 egg can be used 3 times), store it in a cool place, and use it to gargle.

Generally, sore throat symptoms in early pregnancy are mild and will get better after a few days of rest without taking any medicine. If the condition is serious and requires medication, it must be done under the consent and guidance of a doctor.

Pregnant women belong to a special group of people, and dietary nutrition intake is also very important. Here are some medicines that can be used during pregnancy for your reference:
