What medication should I take for a cold and cough during early pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am more than one month pregnant now. What medicine can I take for a cold and cough in the early stages of pregnancy? What should I do if I get sick while pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, if a woman's physical condition is not good, and combined with the need for life that requires consuming a large amount of nutrients within the body, it is easy to experience symptoms such as colds, fever, and cough again. If the symptoms are severe, simply drinking more water may not be sufficient to resolve the issue. In this case, it is best to go to the hospital to determine the type of cold and cough, so that targeted medication can be used. Medication during pregnancy must be used with caution, and it is important not to use medications that should be discontinued during pregnancy.
