During the early stages of pregnancy, women's immune system may weaken and they are more susceptible to diseases such as colds and fever. However, during pregnancy, many expectant mothers are unwilling to take medication for fear of affecting their baby's normal development.

If a pregnant woman's cough is not very severe, it is recommended to treat it with food and avoid taking medication as much as possible to avoid affecting the healthy development of the fetus. If a pregnant woman coughs and spits white phlegm, it is recommended to eat the following foods:
1. Drink ginger soup. Put two slices of ginger into 500ml of water, boil and add a small amount of brown sugar. Ginger has a cooling effect, while brown sugar can warm the stomach. Drinking ginger soup is suitable for coughing caused by wind cold and cold.
2. Stewed pears with rock sugar. It is recommended to remove the core and skin of pears, or add red dates. Finally, add a certain amount of brown sugar. Pregnant women can drink a few cups a day to treat cough and remove white phlegm.
3. Drinking more salt water can alleviate coughing caused by the respiratory tract and have a preventive effect. If it is a mild cough, drinking plenty of warm water can also relieve the cough. Generally speaking, drinking plenty of warm water can make pregnant women sweat and replenish the lost water in their throat, thereby reducing coughing symptoms. Generally, doctors do not recommend patients to use medication to treat mild cough.
