The health of pregnant women is what everyone cares about most, because after all, it concerns two lives. Only when the pregnant woman's body is healthy enough can the baby in her belly grow up healthily together. So some expectant mothers asked the editor, why do they cough from time to time when they are five months pregnant? And they also have a poor appetite. Why is this? Will such symptoms affect the baby's health? And how to solve such coughing? If you want to know the answer to the question, let's take a look at the content that the editor will bring to you next.

Cause: These are symptoms of a cold during pregnancy, mainly caused by viral infection, and may include cough, sore throat, and nasal congestion.

Suggestions:

1. You should take amoxicillin capsules and isatis root granules with a relatively high safety factor. It is relatively effective and safe to combine them with diet therapy. Pears stewed with rock sugar, almonds and radishes stewed with pig lungs, peanut and red date soup, etc. are all good diet therapy methods for reducing phlegm and relieving cough. Be sure to drink plenty of boiled water to speed up the discharge of phlegm, pay attention to rest, and avoid catching a cold again.

2. The treatment of cough during pregnancy is different from that of cough caused by cold. It must focus on stopping cough, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. It is recommended to peel the fresh pears, split them open and remove the cores, add appropriate amount of rock sugar, put them in a pot and steam them until soft before eating.

3. If the doctor does not recommend taking medication during pregnancy, and the cold symptoms are mild, with only runny nose, cough, etc., you can drink more water and get enough rest. Generally, the symptoms will be relieved to a certain extent without taking medication. If the symptoms are severe and accompanied by fever, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time. The doctor will choose the medication that has the least impact on the fetus.

The above is the editor’s explanation of why you cough when you are five months pregnant. In fact, this is most likely just a cold caused by the pregnant woman. However, although it is just a common cold, it should still be taken seriously by everyone. We must take some safe medicines and drink more boiled water. For specific practices, please refer to the suggestions given above by the editor. I wish you all a speedy recovery and safety for both mother and child.
