Pregnant women will carefully take care of their own bodies and the health of the fetus during pregnancy, but no matter how careful they are, there may still be some problems. Sometimes they may catch a cold if they are not careful. So what should they do if they catch a cold in late pregnancy?
Pregnant women's colds are very common nowadays, and they generally have little impact on the fetus. However, it is not recommended for pregnant women to take medication, so it is best to keep warm in daily life, have a light diet during colds, and drink plenty of water during late pregnancy.
If the cold in late pregnancy is mild and only causes sneezing and runny nose, there is no need to deal with it. Pay attention to rest and control your diet in all aspects.
If the cold is severe, such as high fever or severe cough, then it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment. Generally, doctors will prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for adjustment, which will not affect the health of the fetus.
Pregnant women with colds can also adopt some family management methods, such as eating foods that increase immunity, drinking more chicken soup, which can increase the body's immunity and make it easier to resist colds, or using acupressure methods to relieve colds. However, it is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor because during pregnancy, one should be more cautious.
In the late stage of pregnancy, it is important to pay more attention to your body, keep warm as much as possible to avoid catching a cold, and rest. After meals, take a walk to aid digestion.
