After the expectant mother develops cold symptoms, cough symptoms also appear. During pregnancy, expectant mothers are particularly worried that the cold virus will harm the health of the baby in their belly. However, in the late stages of pregnancy, it is even more difficult for expectant mothers to deal with cold and cough symptoms. So, what should I do if I have a severe cough before giving birth?
Firstly, expectant mothers with severe colds and coughs must consider taking medication for treatment. Expectant mothers can take some drugs that are not harmful to their babies. If they have a cold, they should drink more water, such as ginger and brown sugar water, which can alleviate the symptoms of the cold. If they cough severely, expectant mothers will consume more energy when giving birth, and the condition will become more severe. When the child comes out, it is easy to spread the disease to them.
Secondly, expectant mothers have severe coughing before giving birth. In daily life, they should drink a lot of water and add more blankets. Expectant mothers must lie down to make them sweat a lot. Generally, colds and coughs last for about two to three days, but during this period, expectant mothers should not be too hot, otherwise the cold and cough will become more severe after catching a cold.
Finally, expectant mothers should not be picky about food when eating. They should eat more foods that are beneficial for both mother and baby. Good foods can provide expectant mothers with appropriate amounts of multiple vitamins and nutrients. When expectant mothers cough severely, drinking something that feels particularly comfortable and taking some cool and harmless particles can alleviate cough symptoms.
