What to do if a pregnant woman has a stuffy nose? Special methods

For pregnant friends, once they find that they are sick, it will put a lot of pressure on the female body, and long-term illness will have a certain impact on the growth and development of the fetus. The disease must be treated scientifically in time. So what should pregnant women do if they have a fever, a cold, and a blocked nose?

Filling method: Mash the onion roots and take the juice to soak into cotton balls, then insert the cotton balls into the nasal cavity. Or cut a garlic clove into a cylinder slightly smaller than the nasal cavity, wrap it with cotton wool or gauze and insert it into the nasal cavity. This is also very effective in treating nasal congestion.

If the expectant mother cannot lift her spirits all day long due to nasal congestion, it will have a certain impact on the health of the pregnant mother and the baby. You can buy some ventilating nasal stickers to relieve the problem. The blackhead stickers contain mint and other substances that can refresh the mind and breathe.

Some parents think that pregnant women should not be in windy areas as they are prone to catching colds, so they close the windows and doors of the pregnant mothers' rooms. This will cause the nose to be unable to breathe in fresh air and cause nasal congestion. Although expectant mothers cannot use a hair dryer, it only refers to strong winds. The ventilation in the room is still normal and necessary.

Massage technique for sleeping on the side: If you have left ear congestion, lie on your right side; if you have right nasal congestion, lie on your left side. Use two fingers to pinch your nose and massage the Yingxiang points on both sides for 1 to 2 minutes. This will remove the nasal congestion. Hot compress method: Apply a hot cotton towel to the nose, or use a hair dryer to blow warm air into the nasal cavity, blowing on the temples, Fengchi point, and Dazhui point on both sides, which can relieve nasal congestion.

A stuffy nose may also be caused by sinusitis, viral infection, fever or cold, which are generally indistinguishable. If the nose is blocked repeatedly for 10 days and breathing is blocked, it may be sinusitis. You should go to the hospital outpatient department for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

Pregnant women should never blindly use medications when they have a blocked nose. The effects of many medications on the fetus cannot be ignored, so you can choose some small folk remedies to solve it, or you can follow the doctor's advice to proceed.
