What to eat when pregnant and having a cold

Patient's question:

Symptoms of a cold have reappeared. Since yesterday, I've noticed nasal congestion, especially at night, when my nose is stuffy. But I'm still pregnant, so what should I do about the cold? What should I eat?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms can be improved through dietary changes. For example, you can buy a hen and stew chicken soup, then use the chicken soup to make noodles. This can boost the immune system and be very beneficial for recovery from a cold. At the same time, it is necessary to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement sufficient vitamins. If a cold occurs during pregnancy and there are no symptoms such as high fever, it is considered a common cold, and medication is not recommended for the time being.
1. During pregnancy, women are generally advised not to take medication, as all drugs have side effects that can easily affect the fetus.
