Can a pregnant woman's cold be regulated with ginger tea?

Patient's question:

I've been pregnant for three months, but I caught a cold because the weather suddenly got cold. However, taking cold medicine while pregnant is not good for the fetus. I want to drink some ginger water to dispel the cold and treat the cold. How should ginger water be prepared during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The behavior of ginger water: First, prepare an adequate amount of ginger, scrub it clean, smash it, and put it in a pot with cold water. Bring it to a boil and simmer over low heat for a while. At the same time, you can add and many scallions. After simmering, pour it into a bowl and drink it while it's hot. However, ginger water is only suitable for mild wind-cold colds. At the same time, ginger is also a spicy and blood-activating food, and it should not be eaten in excess. It is recommended to drink more warm water to promote metabolism. If necessary, consult with an expert or a professional for advice or treatment.
