Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, feeling nauseous these past few days, and always experiencing lower back pain and a heavy sensation in the abdomen, but not too severe. Now she suddenly caught a cold. How should she treat a cold if she is pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If a pregnant woman gets a cold and it's not severe, it is recommended to drink more water and avoid medication as much as possible to prevent affecting the fetus's growth and development. If the pain is unbearable, you can take some traditional Chinese medicine, but anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken, but remember that all medicines have side effects, so it's better to avoid taking them if possible. However, if it's just a mild cough, you can boil some pear water with Fritillaria cirrhosa and drink it. It's best not to smoke anymore. In the early stages of pregnancy, it's just an embryo, and the organs haven't fully developed yet. If it truly affects the fetus, it may lead to a miscarriage.
