Does a 37-week pregnant woman's cough affect the baby inside the belly?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be a wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind and cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that reduce qi and resolve phlegm.
