Patient's question:
My partner is pregnant for over two months now. She has some cold symptoms now, mainly nasal congestion, coughing, sore throat, and sometimes her temperature is high while other times it's normal. Hello, can one take medicine during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Most colds in early pregnancy are caused by viral infections, which can interfere with the growth and development of the embryo, increasing the probability of deformities. This is because the critical stage of embryonic growth and development is during the third month of pregnancy, which is also the stage of organ development. You can drink more water, increase rest time, and consume light drinks. Boil Fritillaria cirrhosa with pears. If the fever is severe, it is necessary to have a thorough blood test and consider using Western medicine anti-inflammatory drugs if needed. It is best to avoid using them.
