Patient's question:
I have always wanted to have a baby, and I am about four or five months pregnant. I accidentally caught a cold during the change of seasons, with coughing and nasal congestion. It is said that pregnant women cannot take medicine, and personally, I am also very upset because I am worried that taking medicine will affect the baby's growth and development. So, I want to ask you, what should a pregnant woman do if she has a cold, coughing, and nasal congestion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you are currently in the pregnancy stage. If you have symptoms of a cold, you can decide to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Generally, you can use Lianhua Qingwen, which is quite effective and has no side effects. Additionally, you must pay attention to drinking more water and getting adequate rest, which will help you recover completely. Besides, if you experience any other abnormal symptoms, you must seek medical attention promptly.
