What to do if pregnant women have pharyngitis

In life, there are many pregnant women who have special physical conditions during pregnancy. They are likely to experience nausea and vomiting.

Does pharyngitis and coughing during pregnancy affect the fetus?

Does a pregnant woman’s cough affect the fetus? Many pregnant women are afraid that their coughing will affect the fetus. A pregnant woman's cough will not have much impact on the fetus, but be careful not to use medication if it is not very serious, especially in the first three months of pregnancy. The fetus is still relatively fragile during this period, and the toxicity of drugs taken by pregnant women during this period may cause fetal malformations. If the pregnancy is after 12 weeks, try to avoid taking medication, otherwise the toxicity of the medication will affect the growth and development of the fetus.

Currently, the drugs that can cause fetal malformations include: vitamin A hormones, anticoagulants, anti-tumor drugs, anticonvulsants, antibiotics, etc. Pregnant women must avoid taking these medicines during pregnancy.

In short, pregnant women with pharyngitis do not need to panic and worry that coughing will affect the fetus. The most important thing is to use less medication or try not to use medication.
