It is inevitable for the body to experience symptoms of illness, and even young people with strong bodies are prone to catching colds and coughing. But for pregnant women, getting sick is a very worrying thing. If the condition is not controlled in time, it may also affect the safety of the fetus. What should pregnant women do if they cough and have abdominal pain?
When a pregnant woman coughs and causes abdominal pain, do not panic too much. Pregnant women should determine whether it is muscle pain or pain caused by threatened miscarriage. If it's just abdominal pain, it's caused by pulling muscle tissue during coughing, and it can be relieved on its own after rest. Pregnant women can eat some foods with cough relieving effect to relieve the symptoms, such as snow pear, honey, etc.
If a pregnant woman feels that her abdominal pain is caused by uterine contractions and accompanied by symptoms of vaginal redness, she needs to seek medical attention promptly to save her pregnancy. In this case, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to treat cough, and some fetal protection drugs should be used appropriately to avoid worsening cough and the risk of drainage abortion.
Pregnant women should not only actively seek treatment during coughing, but also pay attention to their coughing posture. To avoid symptoms of abdominal pain caused by coughing, pregnant women should try to prevent an increase in negative pressure as much as possible. When coughing, try to squat down or cover the pregnant belly with your hands and bend down to cough, which can reduce negative pressure, prevent miscarriage, and avoid the risk of miscarriage caused by coughing.
