Patient's question:
I am 5 months pregnant. Last week, because the weather suddenly got cold and my immunity was weak, I accidentally caught a cold. I have a slight cough. It is said that pregnant women should not take medicine casually, but it hasn't gotten better yet. What should I do now? Will the cold and cough affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, you are currently in the pregnancy process and have experienced symptoms of a cold and cough again. Colds are generally caused by viral or bacterial infections, which can have a certain impact on the baby. The recovery has not been complete for a long time. It is better to go to a regular hospital for a complete blood count examination. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral medications with relatively small side effects should be taken. At the same time, pay attention to drinking more warm water, eating more vegetables and fruits, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods for conditioning.
