Can pregnant women drink ginger tea if they have a cold?

Patient's question:

Three months have passed since I got pregnant, but I've caught a cold again. My mom cooked ginger water for me. I want to ask the doctor if it's okay for pregnant women to drink ginger water when they have a cold.

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, it is appropriate to drink some ginger tea, which can help reduce swelling and has a certain effect on wind-cold colds. Additionally, it is essential to pay close attention to rest during daily life, as colds usually begin to improve within about a week. If the condition is severe, it is best to use medication for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During pregnancy, never ever take medication by yourself, as vaccines can cause harm to the fetus.
