What to do if you have a runny nose in early pregnancy

Runny nose and nasal congestion in early pregnancy can be promoted by washing the nose, drinking more water, etc., and if necessary, medication can be used as prescribed by the doctor.
For symptoms such as runny nose and nasal congestion in early pregnancy, to a lesser extent, you can use saline to wash your nose, wash out the excess nasal mucous membrane, reduce swelling of the nasal mucous membrane, and alleviate the symptoms of nasal congestion. Normally, you should also drink more warm water and pay attention to keep warm to relieve the related symptoms and avoid aggravation of the symptoms.
If the above measures are ineffective or the symptoms worsen, we should consult a doctor in time. Runny nose and nasal congestion may be caused by rhinitis, sinusitis and other diseases, which need to be clearly diagnosed by a doctor and treated, and if necessary, medication should be applied to control the symptoms. If the nasal congestion is serious, you can use nasal decongestant drugs (such as hydroxymetazoline) as prescribed by the doctor, but the course of treatment should not be more than 3 days.
Pregnant women must follow the doctor’s instructions to use drugs, not to be used arbitrarily to avoid serious consequences.
