Patient's question:
Now I am already about ten weeks pregnant. I have always been very careful, as this is my first time and I have no experience. Recently, I caught a cold and dare not take medicine, always coughing. I want to drink honey water. Is it okay for pregnant women to drink honey water when they have a cold?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women can drink honey water after catching a cold, but it is not recommended to drink too much because honey water contains a lot of sugar, and drinking too much can easily lead to an increase in blood sugar in pregnant women. After pregnancy, a woman's constitution becomes weaker, and it is essential to enhance self-protection against colds. Avoid going to places with too many people to prevent catching a cold. Once a cold occurs, it is recommended to drink more hot water and get more rest. If the symptoms are severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination in time.
