When pregnant and having a cold, what foods should be avoided?

Patient's question:

A 38-year-old woman got sick and taking medicine had no effect, she still felt uncomfortable. Please ask: What should a pregnant woman with a cold avoid eating?

Doctor's answer:

Not possible. At this time, taking cold medicine has a significant impact on the fetus. So you need to drink more water and cannot take cold medicine. During this period, it's better to eat small meals frequently, avoid hot foods, and consume apples and oranges. Base your daily diet on porridge. When your stomach feels uncomfortable, which is also when you feel slightly hungry, you must persist in eating a little bit at a time. Otherwise, you might end up boiling a soup. If white porridge lacks flavor, you can cook it with pork rib soup, add some Chinese cabbage, and it will be sweet and delicious. This is something you need to eat during the early stages of pregnancy, as it can reduce the probability of fetal malformations. After three months, you won't need to eat it anymore.
