Can you take medicine if you are pregnant and have a severe cold?

Patient's question:

Female, 28 years old, feeling nauseous these past few days, and always having lower back pain and a heavy feeling in the abdomen, but not too severe. Now she suddenly caught a cold. Is it okay to take medicine if pregnancy and cold are serious?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, it is also necessary to take medication and treat a cold. If your wife has a wind-cold type of cold, she can take some traditional Chinese medicine preparations orally. Pay attention to drinking more water and staying warm, and avoid taking Western medicine indiscriminately. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible based on their own condition. Only in this way can they receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly. Different causes lead to different symptoms.
