During pregnancy, pregnant women's physical resistance is relatively weak, and they are more susceptible to virus and bacterial invasion, which can lead to colds. After catching a cold, they are generally prone to symptoms such as sore throat and nasal congestion. At this time, pregnant women generally dare not take medication casually. So, what should pregnant women do if they have a cold, sore throat, and nasal congestion?
1. Drink plenty of water: Pregnant women with sore throat and nasal congestion should pay attention to drinking warm water in their daily lives, which can increase the water in their throat and help relieve the pain.
2. Drinking lemon water: If you feel that drinking plain water is bland and tasteless, you can drink lemon water. Lemon water can not only replenish water, but also because it contains rich vitamin C, it can improve the body's resistance and have a certain therapeutic effect on colds, sore throats, and nasal congestion.
3. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables: You can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables with high water content that can help reduce internal heat, such as dragon fruit, pear, grapefruit, etc., which can effectively improve symptoms.
4. Hot compress: When a cold causes severe nasal congestion, a hot towel can be used to apply hot compress to the nasal cavity, which can generally effectively improve symptoms.
5. Medical consultation: If the symptoms of sore throat and nasal congestion are severe, it may be caused by diseases such as pharyngitis and tonsillitis. You can go to the hospital for medical treatment and undergo blood routine tests to confirm the diagnosis. If inflammation is diagnosed, timely medication treatment is needed, and safe and side effect free medication can be chosen for treatment.
