Coughing is a defense of the respiratory tract, and pregnant women often have coughing symptoms when they have a cold, which should be handled differently depending on their condition and pregnancy. First of all, the treatment of a pregnant woman with a cold needs to take into account the severity of her condition. For pregnant women with light colds, cough symptoms are often not obvious, and there are no accompanying symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, coughing phlegm, it is recommended that conservative treatment is the main focus, in the early stage of the cold, pregnant women are advised to drink more water, keep warm, light diet, keep indoor air circulation, eat more vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits to help the body fight the cold, generally about 1 week the cold can heal itself, cough symptoms can also be relieved. However, if a pregnant woman has a cough that is difficult to tolerate, she can be given cough suppressant or detoxifying, warm and pungent drugs to reduce the symptoms of cough and shorten the course of the cold, and the specific choice of drugs should be prescribed by the clinician after an interview. However, for patients with heavy colds, i.e. with fever, abdominal pain, coughing and other symptoms, they should be seen in the hospital’s whistling department or obstetrics department as soon as possible and treated symptomatically with oral medication under the guidance of a doctor to avoid serious effects on the pregnant woman and the fetus. Secondly, the treatment of a pregnant woman with a cold needs to take into account the pregnancy stage of the pregnant woman. In the early stage of pregnancy (within 12 weeks), the fetus is not stable, so you should be extra cautious when you have a cold or cough, and early detection means conservative treatment and avoiding oral medication. In the middle of pregnancy, especially in the late pregnancy when the fetus is more stable, you can relax the medication guidelines and use some cough medicines and allopathic medicines to treat it appropriately. Pregnant women’s colds are a big challenge to both themselves and the fetus, so they should improve their immunity to avoid colds in general.
