Coughing and stomach pain during pregnancy

Pregnant women's cough at night is mostly caused by lung heat. In severe cases, you can eat loquat and pear soup to relieve cough and reduce phlegm.

So, what should you do if you cough and have abdominal pain during pregnancy?

1. What should I do if my stomach hurts when I cough during pregnancy?

One of the possible causes is fever and cold, so the treatment method is the same as that for ordinary fever and cold. But don't be self-righteous and take over-the-counter medicines (both Chinese medicinal materials and medicines) indiscriminately, because some Chinese medicinal materials and medicines for treating coughs can affect the fetus. If you want treatment, you must go to the hospital to see a doctor, so as not to harm the fetus.

What should pregnant women do if they cough? Little do people know that some pregnant women’s cough is not caused by fever or cold. According to Chinese medicine, these pregnant women have a relatively weak constitution and will cough as soon as they become pregnant. They will continue to cough until the baby is born, which greatly affects the health of the baby. The treatment method at this time is different from that for cough caused by fever and cold, and must focus on stopping cough, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs.
