Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old, has been trying to conceive with her husband for this period. She suddenly caught a cold these past two days and doesn't know if she is pregnant. She wants to ask what to do if she gets pregnant and has a cold and cough.Doctor's answer:
In the early stages of pregnancy, it is best to avoid taking medication as much as possible to prevent it from affecting the growth and development of the fetus. If you have a simple cough with little phlegm and no sore throat or fever, you can consider dietary methods. For example, you can make some rock sugar pear water or fritillaria water to drink, which can still be effective for mild cough. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit and take medication under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations to diagnose the condition and recover quickly.
