Patient's question:
Last night, I didn't cover myself well while taking a nap and got cold. This morning, when I went to bed, I started hiccuping and then began to have a runny nose and a cold. I want to ask the doctor what to do if a pregnant woman gets a cold.Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women should take good care of themselves and avoid catching a cold. But if they do get a cold, it's best not to take medicine. Instead, they can drink a lot of ginger honey tea to alleviate symptoms, or cook some rock sugar pear soup to relieve coughing. If the symptoms are particularly severe, they should go to a proper medical facility for a thorough examination and seek treatment under guidance. This is relatively safer and benefits both the baby and the adult.
