What should I do if I get a cold while pregnant?

Patient's question:

Female, 26 years old, feeling nauseous these past few days, always having lower back pain, and a heavy pain in the abdomen, but not too severe. Now she suddenly caught a cold. Please ask what to do if you get a cold while pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

A pregnant woman gets a cold, although she has a cold but does not have a fever, or the fever is not above 38 degrees, it is not necessary to treat it, and it will not affect the fetus. If the pregnant woman has symptoms such as cough, some drugs that will not affect the fetus can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Generally speaking, antibiotics are relatively safe for the fetus.
B. If the pregnant woman has a cold with a low fever of 39 degrees or higher and it persists for more than 3 days, it can be solved in two ways. The first situation is that if the pregnant woman with a cold is within 2 weeks after menopause, the medication may not affect the fetus.
