The editor has collected some information about what pregnant women should do when they have a cold, hoping that through these contents, it can help everyone solve related doubts.

Pregnant women are prone to catching colds due to thickening, edema, congestion, and decreased disease resistance of respiratory mucosa such as the nose, pharynx, and trachea. Pregnant women who suffer from colds often fear that medication may have adverse effects on the fetus. At the beginning of a cold, if there is itching and double pain in the throat, immediately rinse your mouth and throat with concentrated salt water every 10 minutes. After about 10 times, it will take effect. Drinking chicken soup can alleviate symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose during a cold, and has a good effect on clearing respiratory viruses.
Drinking chicken soup regularly can enhance the body's natural resistance and prevent the occurrence of colds. Adding some seasonings such as pepper and ginger to chicken soup, or eating it with strips, can cure a cold. Pour hot water at around 42 degrees Celsius into a thermos tea cup, and for those with a cold, place their mouth and nose into the cup mouth, continuously inhaling the hot steam three times a day. When a pregnant woman coughs, she can beat an egg evenly, add a small amount of white sugar and ginger juice, and take it with half a cup of boiling water 2-3 times to relieve the cough.
Pregnant women with mild colds can drink plenty of hot water, pay attention to rest, keep warm, etc. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can effectively control cold viruses while being non-toxic. Therefore, TCM's syndrome differentiation and TCM prescription are the best methods for treating colds in pregnant women. Pregnant women with colds can take TCM under the guidance of a doctor.
