Patient's question:
I have been trying to conceive for several years and finally got pregnant recently. My family is extremely happy and has been taking good care of me, treating me like a national treasure. However, I still caught a cold and didn't take any medicine, just toughed it out. Today, for some reason, I feel a bit like I'm getting a cold again. Have you just conceived and are you more prone to catching colds?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, the immune system is relatively weak, and this stage is prone to recurring cold symptoms. Additionally, early pregnancy symptoms are similar to those of a cold, so if a cold is confirmed during this period, medication is generally necessary and cannot be ignored, as the cold virus can have a significant impact on the fetus. During this stage, it is important to drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and take precautions against catching a cold. If medication is used, it must be taken according to medical advice.
