Does bronchitis in pregnant women have an impact on the fetus

　　Pregnant women are prone to developing symptoms such as colds, tracheitis, and coughing due to a decrease in their own resistance during pregnancy. Pregnant women often hold their stomachs and dare not cough forcefully, and sometimes coughing slightly can easily lead to urinary incontinence, which is very embarrassing. So, does bronchitis in pregnant women have an impact on the fetus?

　　Pregnant women with bronchitis generally do not have any impact on the fetus, but if coughing for a long time is not treated in time, it can have the following two hazards to the fetus:

　　1. The toxins produced by fever, high fever, and metabolic disorders caused by bronchitis can stimulate uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage and premature birth, and increasing neonatal mortality rates.

　　2. The virus produced by bronchitis can directly enter the fetus through the placenta, which may cause congenital heart disease, cleft lip, hydrocephalus, anencephaly, and microcephaly in the fetus.

　　When pregnant women with bronchitis cannot use medication, they can take some dietary therapy for treatment. Dietary therapy will not harm the fetus and will also alleviate the disease.

　　Here are two recommended dietary drinks for pregnant women with bronchitis:

　　1. White pepper pear water

　　Choose one pear and an appropriate amount of white pepper. Put white pepper into the pitted pear, decoct with water and take. It can have the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough.

　　2. White Radish Pear Water

　　Boil white radish, dried ginger slices, and pear slices in water and take several times a day. It can be used for bronchitis caused by excessive heat.
