What medicine can pregnant women take for headaches

There are many pregnant women in our lives. Pregnant women are very important to us. Moreover, the physical health of pregnant women is very important to us, so we must pay close attention to the physical health of pregnant women in life, so as to avoid some adverse effects caused by poor physical conditions of pregnant women. So let’s take a look at what medicine pregnant women can take for headaches.

Pregnant women have relatively low immunity during pregnancy, so they are prone to symptoms such as colds and headaches. However, pregnant women are not allowed to take medication casually during pregnancy, and there are many medications that are prohibited for pregnant women. Does this mean that pregnant women cannot take medication when they have a cold? This is not absolute. The cold medicine for pregnant women should be selected according to the length of pregnancy. Pregnancy time is divided into early pregnancy, mid pregnancy and late pregnancy.

1. Early pregnancy:

The first 3 months of pregnancy: During these 3 months, pregnant women should not take any medications. If they catch a cold, they should be treated according to the following two situations.

Case 1: A cold without fever, or a fever with a body temperature not exceeding 38 degrees.

In this case, if the symptoms are only mild, no treatment is required. If a pregnant woman has symptoms such as coughing, she can use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor and take some safe drugs that have no effect on the fetus.

Case 2: If a pregnant woman has a fever of over 39 degrees when she catches a cold and it lasts for more than 3 days.

If a pregnant woman catches a cold within 2 weeks after ovulation, she can take medicine without affecting the fetus. If you catch a cold 2 weeks after ovulation, taking medicine may affect the fetus because the fetus's central nervous system has begun to develop at this time. In this case, the doctor may advise the pregnant woman to terminate the pregnancy.

Second trimester:

1. If you have a fever, you can ask your doctor to choose some Chinese herbal medicines with fewer toxic and side effects. Isatis root, isatis indigotica leaf, forsythia suspensa, notopterygium wilfordii, honeysuckle, etc., which have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying and resisting viruses, have good therapeutic effects. Chinese patent medicines such as Yinqiao Jiedu Pills, Compound Isatis Injection, Yinhuang Oral Liquid, etc. can be taken.

3. If a cold is accompanied by a high fever, it usually indicates that the condition is serious and you should see a doctor immediately. Do not take antipyretics, as they are contraindicated antipyretics for pregnant women.

3. Late pregnancy:

Taking cold medicine at this time generally does not have much impact on pregnant women and fetuses. You can choose the appropriate medicine under the advice of your doctor.
