What should pregnant women do if they are caught in the wind?

The health of women during pregnancy is more critical. After pregnancy, women's body resistance will be relatively weaker, and they will be more susceptible to colds. Being exposed to colds during pregnancy can easily cause colds or fevers, which have a great impact on the health of the body and the growth of the fetus. Pregnant women should not take medicine when they are exposed to colds, but they can regulate their diet, eat more foods rich in vitamins, or bask in the sun.

What should pregnant women do if they catch a cold?

Pregnant women will catch a cold if they are exposed to the wind. It is not recommended to take medicine for mild cases of cold as it will affect the fetus. Expectant mothers can drink more water and boil brown sugar ginger water.

At this time, pregnant women should not take medicine indiscriminately, otherwise it may affect the normal development of the fetus. Therefore, patients must prevent any stimulation to the child by medicine, and try to choose to drink more water, drink more ginger and sugar water and other safer food therapy methods for conditioning. After catching a cold, pregnant women must drink some brown sugar ginger water as soon as possible. Boil brown sugar and ginger with water, and you can drink it after ten minutes. After drinking it while it is hot, it is best to sweat a little. At this time, get into the quilt and take a nap, which will have a good effect on improving the patient's colds.

2. Pregnant women need to supplement more vitamin C during a cold. Vitamin C can improve immunity and respiratory defense function. It is okay to eat some fruits or juices rich in vitamin C. During the illness, you need to open windows more often for ventilation and try not to use air conditioning. When the air is better, you can put on more clothes and go out to bask in the sun, which will also be beneficial to your recovery. It is better to keep the indoor humidity at around 45% during the illness. It should not be too dry. Patients also need appropriate exercise to enhance their physical fitness, but they cannot exercise in crowded places. Try to choose places with good air and few people to walk slowly or stroll. They also need to pay more attention to rest.

Finally, if pregnant women do not respond well to dietary therapy during a cold, they can take some Chinese patent medicine for treatment, such as Jingfang Baidu Powder, Tongxuan Lifei Pills, Mahuang Zhisou Pills, etc. Chinese patent medicine is as effective as Western medicine, and has little effect on pregnant women and fetuses, thereby reducing the impact on fetal development.
