After being pregnant for 18 weeks, how to treat a cold with a runny nose

Patient's question:

Pregnant for 18 weeks, I have a cold, runny nose, and constant hiccups. Can this interfere with the baby? Very worried, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to the patient's description, it is considered to be an upper respiratory infection caused by the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms. Pregnant women with upper respiratory infections may increase the likelihood of fetal malformations. As women are in a special period, it is advisable not to take medication randomly. It is recommended to take oral medication under the guidance of a doctor, avoid spicy and greasy foods, drink more water appropriately, and have regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital. Pay attention to preventing colds and not catching a cold.
