What should pregnant women do if they have a runny nose?

After pregnancy, pregnant women will experience some other adverse reactions, especially in extreme weather conditions, which may cause colds. Some sequelae of colds are sneezing and runny nose, which can also affect the development of the fetus. In particular, runny yellow nose is a sign of getting angry. Let’s find out what pregnant women should do if they have a runny yellow nose.

When a pregnant woman catches a cold, it has two effects on the fetus:

First, the virus enters the fetus directly through the placenta, which may cause congenital heart disease, cleft lip, hydrocephalus, anencephaly and microcephaly.

The second is the indirect effect of high fever caused by colds and toxins produced by metabolic disorders. High fever and toxins will stimulate uterine contraction, causing miscarriage and premature birth, so you should pay attention to preventing colds. Here are some treatment methods: For mild colds, if there are only sneezing, runny nose and mild cough, no medication is needed. You can pay attention to rest and drink plenty of water, which can often heal without treatment. If the symptoms still do not improve, you can use Chinese patent medicines such as Isatis Root Granules.

If you have a high fever or severe cough, you should go to the hospital for treatment. To reduce fever, you can use a cold wet towel, 30%-35% alcohol (or white wine diluted twice with water) to rub the neck and armpits on both sides; you can also use Bupleurum injection. Pregnant women with prolonged high fever or those with colds complicated by bacterial infections should go to the internal medicine department of a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.

The above are the solutions to runny nose in pregnant women. In fact, colds are the most common thing during pregnancy, especially in winter, when influenza is more obvious. In order to ensure the development of the fetus, you must keep warm in winter and not let your physical condition be affected by some external conditions.
