Currently, it is not recommended to take medication during pregnancy. It is advised to drink more water. If the symptoms are severe, appropriate oral traditional Chinese medicine can be taken to alleviate the symptoms. Use medication properly under the guidance of a doctor, and intravenous treatment may be necessary if needed. Rest is important to prevent overexertion and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Avoid overtime work and maintain a balanced diet to ensure proper nutrition. Different causes can lead to different symptoms.
