Patient's question:
When I was pregnant, I was afraid of getting sick, but what I feared came true. Today, I went to the children's hospital to get medicine. The doctor asked me how many months I was pregnant, and I said it was only two months. He told me to come back and drink more water, and not to take medicine.What should a pregnant woman do if she has a cold, cough, sore throat, and runny nose?
Doctor's answer:
If you catch a cold during pregnancy and the symptoms are mild, you can manage it without medication. Pay attention to keeping warm, drink more water, and maintain a light diet. If the cold symptoms are more severe, such as a sore throat, you can consider drinking chrysanthemum tea, which has a cooling and fire-reducing effect and can help stabilize the symptoms. If you have severe coughing or fever, you should go to the respiratory department of the hospital for follow-up treatment and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
