How to treat cough during pregnancy?

What should pregnant women do if they cough during pregnancy? The editor suggests that if it is a mild cough, food therapy should be used, because excessive use of medicine will have a certain impact on your body and fetus. However, if you have a cough caused by poisoning, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment and follow the doctor's instructions and use medication. What are the dietary therapies? The following points are what I would like to introduce to you.

(1) Pear stewed with rock sugar: Peel the fresh pears, split them and remove the cores. Add appropriate amount of rock sugar and steam them in a pot until soft.

(2) Bake oranges: Use chopsticks to make a hole in the center of the bottom of the orange, stuff some salt into it, wrap it with aluminum foil, and bake it in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Take it out, peel the orange peel, and eat it while it’s hot. Or you can dry the orange peel into dried tangerine peel, add water to make tea, and drink it in big gulps, which is also very effective.

(3) Pear stewed with Fritillaria cirrhosa: Use peeled and cored fresh pears and add 2 grams of Fritillaria cirrhosa powder. Steam in a pot until soft and serve while hot.

(4) White radish candy: Cut the white radish into 1 cm dices, put them into a dry, clean container, fill it with honey, cover it tightly, and soak it for about 3 days. The water will seep out and mix with the honey. Store it in the refrigerator. Scoop out a little each time and add warm water to drink. It has a very good cough-relieving effect. If you want to drink it suddenly and don’t have time to soak it, you can grind the white radish, add 1/3 amount of honey, mix well, and then add warm water to drink.

(5) Sugar-boiled kumquats: Wash the kumquats, poke two or three holes with a toothpick, add water to cover and bring to a boil, add rock sugar, simmer over low heat until soft, and eat while hot. Let the unfinished drink cool down and store in the refrigerator, then scoop out some each time to eat while warm.

(6) Drink more warm water. Holding warm water in your mouth also has a good cough-relieving effect.

In addition, do not eat sweets such as candy and biscuits. Cold, dry, and irritating foods, such as peanuts, melon seeds, fried foods, etc. should also be prohibited.

A pregnant woman is the carrier of two lives, so you must pay more attention when you are pregnant. When you have coughing symptoms, don't panic. First find out the cause of your cough and take appropriate medicine. The editor recommends not to blindly carry out drug treatment. Keep a good mood and drink plenty of water. I hope the above points are helpful to everyone.
