Patient's question:
Hello doctor!My sister is more than four months pregnant and has caught a cold recently. After taking cold medicine, her fetal movements have become more frequent.
Could you please tell me if there is any impact?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, if there is frequent fetal movement, it is best to go to the hospital for a fetal heart monitoring test. Pay attention to rest, relax your mood, and do not put too much pressure on yourself. If the fetal heart monitoring test is normal, it is generally nothing to worry about. After a cold, make sure to get plenty of rest and drink more water, which will help the illness recover quickly.For pregnant women with a cold, the key is to drink more water and get more rest, which is usually sufficient. If the symptoms are severe, some medication can be used appropriately. Certain medications are safe to take.
Regarding dietary therapy, you can consume appropriate amounts of pear juice, orange juice, watermelon, mung bean soup, etc.
