Can pregnant women with colds receive intravenous drips?

Colds don’t actually have any effect on ordinary people, but if they occur in many pregnant women, it is indeed a problem. First of all, pregnant women cannot receive intravenous drips or take medicines to treat colds during pregnancy. They can only maintain their health through some physical methods. However, due to the weak constitution of pregnant women, they cannot be treated at will. So whether pregnant women can receive intravenous drips during colds has become a question that many people are very concerned about, but they can’t find the answer.

Can pregnant women with colds receive intravenous drips? The cold is a self-limiting disease and recovery is a natural process. The purpose of medication is only to relieve various symptoms. Like other patients, pregnant women will recover from colds on their own after about a week of treatment. Since most antiviral drugs are not suitable for pregnant women, special care should be taken when using drugs to treat viral colds in pregnant women. First of all, the mother's own resistance should be the main focus, and then some drugs that do not affect the health of the mother and baby should be considered as appropriate.

For pregnant women with mild cold symptoms, we first recommend that they drink more water and ginger soup, get more rest, and try their best to rely on their own immunity and resistance to fight the disease. If this doesn't work, you might as well use some mild Chinese patent medicine.

Pregnant women with high fever should receive intravenous infusion

But if a cold causes a fever during pregnancy, especially a high fever above 38.5℃, it can be very dangerous. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, that is, within three months of pregnancy, high fever can affect the embryo, leading to miscarriage and fetal malformations. At this time, pregnant women should seek medical attention in time and use physical methods to reduce fever or use penicillin antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor. This is safe for both the fetus and the pregnant woman.

Experts remind that the key to catching colds during pregnancy is prevention. The weather is getting colder, but the indoor space still needs ventilation. Pregnant women should try not to go to supermarkets, cinemas and other places with poor air circulation and crowded places to prevent colds and infectious diseases. If you catch a cold, drinking hot water and ginger soup are good ways to detoxify.
