Patient's question:
My wife got pregnant a few weeks ago, and it has already started. But she started coughing last week, and on the third day in the morning, she also got a cold. I think this is not okay anymore. When a pregnant woman gets sick, it can affect the child, and her body will also be affected. So, I want to ask a doctor a question: What should a pregnant woman do when she has a cold and coughs?Doctor's answer:
Now the main problem for the patient is coughing. If the cough is significant, it is likely a symptom of a respiratory infection. It may be caused by factors such as catching a cold, dry air, or improper diet. However, since the patient is currently pregnant, many medications are not recommended. The best course of action is to first visit a formal hospital's respiratory department. After undergoing several tests such as a blood test, it is advisable to consult with the attending physician for guidance.
