Patient's question:
After getting pregnant, I eat an apple every day to keep my baby's skin healthy. But the past two days, I accidentally caught a cold and got a fever. The doctor told me to pay attention to my diet and consult a doctor. Can pregnant women eat apples when they have a cold?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women can eat apples if they have a cold. Apples are very rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C can boost the immune system, and consuming enough apples to supplement vitamin C during a cold can help with a complete recovery. At the same time, apples also contain a relatively high amount of dietary fiber, which can help with bowel movement relief and alleviate constipation. Apples can also effectively relieve symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and dry heaving in pregnant women during pregnancy.
