Patient's question:
A pregnant woman has a cold with a temperature of 37.2°C. She is mainly experiencing a runny nose, stuffy nose, sore throat, dry mouth, and her voice is different from usual. She has been pregnant for just eight months. Will enduring this condition affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, the immune system becomes weaker, and it's easy to catch a cold if you drink less water or get cold. Currently, you can drink more hot water, and infuse honeysuckle, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Ephedra sinica to drink. Chew Golden. If it doesn't improve, it's recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and follow-up. In the early stages of pregnancy, catching a cold can potentially lead to fetal malformations. The indoor air should not be too dry, spicy foods should be avoided, and regular check-ups should be done to monitor the fetal growth and development as well as the health of the pregnant woman.
