Does a cold during early pregnancy affect the child?

Patient's question:

Pregnant for one month with a cold, stuffy nose without fever, what impact does it have on the baby? If there is an impact, can it be detected during an ultrasound examination?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you have cold symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy and they are mild, there is no need to worry or seek treatment. Drinking more water is sufficient, and you should wait and see if it will improve.
Based on your description, we recommend the following methods to alleviate cold symptoms:
1. In the early stages of a cold, use sweating therapy, or drink a decoction of ginger, brown sugar, and scallion whites, and warm it to drink.
2. Rest in bed and eat nutrient-rich, light, and easily digestible foods.
3. Drink more water to accelerate the excretion of toxins.
