Patient's question:
Staying calm and steady all along, who knew that in the late stage of pregnancy, I would catch a cold and start coughing. How should I treat it? What can I do to alleviate it? I dare not cough and I'm also worried that the virus will affect the child.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have a cold or cough in the late stages of pregnancy, it's important to go to the hospital promptly. Take medication under the guidance of a doctor, such as antibiotics like cephalexin or lung-purifying syrup. Maintain a proper diet, avoiding spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. Drink plenty of water and eat more fruits, vegetables, and digestive vitamins. Pay attention to calcium supplementation, stay warm, and avoid getting cold. Do not stay up late. Maintain good deep sleep quality, engage in appropriate physical activity, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you good health.
