Patient's question:
Pregnant for over a month, I caught a cold. My nose is stuffy with phlegm and my throat hurts. Hello, what medicine can I take?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women with a cold, nasal congestion, and phlegm in the throat are primarily considered to have a cold. It is best to avoid medication temporarily and focus on rest and drinking plenty of fluids. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and you can also cook some white radish water or rock sugar pear water, which can help reduce phlegm. If the symptoms persist without improvement, you can take some cold-relieving granules and oral penicillin for treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and potentially affecting the fetus. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take cold medications that have little interference with the fetus.
