Patient's question:
Can you take medicine if you catch a cold during pregnancy? Which medicines can you take?Doctor's answer:
1、For mild colds with only sneezing, runny nose, and mild cough, medication is not necessary. Rest and drink plenty of water. Often, the condition can be cured without treatment. If symptoms do not improve, you can use traditional Chinese medicine such as Banlangen granules.2、If high fever or severe cough occurs, seek medical attention at a hospital. To reduce fever, you can apply a damp towel to the neck and underarms (or use 30%------35% alcohol diluted with water in half) for a cold compress. Alternatively, you can use Bupleurum injection.
3、Pregnant women with prolonged high fever or those with colds combined with bacterial infections should promptly seek medical examination and treatment at a formal hospital department.
