What should pregnant women do if they have an itchy throat and dry cough? 3 ways to know

The physical condition of pregnant women during pregnancy is very important and is also the focus of people's attention. However, most people don’t know what to do when pregnant women have symptoms of itchy throat and dry cough. For itchy throat and dry cough caused by different reasons, try not to use medication if possible, you can choose diet therapy.

1. Cough caused by cold: If the cold symptoms are relatively mild, you can use diet therapy and try not to use drug treatment. When you first start coughing, you can drink more cold boiled water, or you can boil water with pears, rock sugar, and red dates. Dice the pear and cook it with the red dates first, then add rock sugar and continue cooking. This is a simple and easy method, and drinking a few cups a day will help treat your cough. This can promote the recovery of physical health. You can also use medication to treat it. When taking medication during pregnancy, you should first consult a professional doctor. Do not take medication casually on your own to avoid affecting the health of the fetus.

2. Cough caused by physical weakness: Another important reason for cough in pregnant women is that their constitution is relatively yin-deficient, so they will cough after pregnancy, and the coughing symptoms will disappear automatically after the baby is born. In such a situation, you should pay more attention to your daily diet and rely on diet therapy to relieve the symptoms of cough. The diet therapy at this time is different from the diet therapy for a cold, and must focus on relieving cough, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. You can choose some small folk remedies that have been popular among the people for a long time and are very effective. Such as pears stewed with rock sugar, pears stewed with Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs, kumquats stewed with sugar, etc.

3. Cough caused by inflammation: For coughs caused by bronchitis, pharyngitis and respiratory tract infections, drinking a moderate amount of light salt water can be very helpful and can also play a preventive role. Of course, if the condition is serious, you should seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice.
