What to do if pregnant women have fever, cold or flu

Heat cold is a summer cold. If you don't take it seriously, it may make the cold worse. For pregnant women, they cannot take medicine casually for heat and colds and can only choose other treatment methods. As for what to do with fever, cold and flu during pregnancy, some physical therapy can be used.

1. When a pregnant woman has a heat cold accompanied by fever, the first thing to do is to control the body temperature. If it is just a mild low-grade fever, then you don't need to use antipyretics at this time. You can use physical methods to reduce the fever. For example, you can use a cold towel to wipe the forehead, neck and aorta of the pregnant woman, or you can directly put a towel and put ice cubes on it to effectively lower the body temperature. If the high fever persists, you need to seek medical attention immediately instead of blindly using antipyretic drugs to avoid harming the fetus.

2. When pregnant women have symptoms of heat cold and fever, it is necessary to find out the cause of the fever in time so that symptomatic treatment can be given. Because the viruses or bacteria that cause fever in pregnant women can cause harm to the pregnant woman herself and the fetus, which is greater than the harm caused by the fever itself. In addition, whether pregnant women suffer from a heat cold or a cold, they should avoid catching cold and being blown by cold wind, and drink more hot water during treatment and recovery. Drinking more hot water can help our body excrete toxins and viruses, and at the same time replenish the water consumed by pregnant women during illness.

3. Drinking chicken soup can relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose during a cold, and it is also effective in clearing respiratory viruses. Drinking chicken soup regularly can enhance the body's natural resistance and prevent the occurrence of colds. Adding some pepper, ginger and other seasonings to chicken soup, or eating it with noodles, can cure colds.
