What should pregnant women do if they have a heat or cold?

Heat cold is very common in our lives, especially when the weather is hot. It is very easy to catch a heat cold if you often use fans or air conditioners. Many people don't pay much attention to it. For pregnant women, heat and colds are also quite painful. Because of pregnancy, they cannot take medicine and have no way to get treatment. They can only endure colds. So, what should pregnant women do with heat and colds?

"Heat cold" is often caused by the following reasons: sweat glands open and pores loose in high temperature environment; for example, when sleeping, you like to set the air conditioner temperature very low, or blow the electric fan too hard, which allows evil wind to enter; some young people want to be cool, and blow the electric fan without waiting to dry their skin after bathing. Although this helps to dissipate heat, it disrupts the physiological laws, reduces the immune function, and gives the virus an opportunity to attack.

After catching a "heat cold", many patients are eager to reduce their fever and take antipyretic tablets indiscriminately. After sweating profusely, the fever goes away, but then the body temperature rebounds. They have no choice but to go to the hospital for antipyretic injections and intravenous drips, and also request antibiotics to be added to the fluid replacement... This repeated tossing and turning, this self-initiated and unreasonable treatment makes oneself exhausted and cannot shorten the course of the cold.

The recommended treatment method is to rest in bed and drink plenty of water. As for medication, you can take Huoxiang Zhengqi soft capsules twice a day, 2 to 4 capsules each time. The function of this medicine is to relieve exterior symptoms and eliminate dampness, regulate qi and harmonize the middle, and it has a good therapeutic effect. Those with sore throat symptoms can take Shuanghuanglian oral liquid. The key to preventing "heat cold" is to maintain a regular daily routine in the midsummer season and avoid getting sick due to carelessness in seeking coolness. The symptoms of heat cold generally include severe fever, mild chills, headache, nausea, thick runny nose, thirst, redness, swelling and pain in the throat, thick yellow phlegm, and body aches.

Heat and cold will definitely cause some discomfort to pregnant women, and since it cannot be treated, recovery will be slower. What should pregnant women with heat and cold do? It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to see what the doctor recommends. Be careful not to take medicine on your own, otherwise it will cause great harm to your body and will also affect the health of the fetus.
