It is easy to catch a cold in early spring. What should pregnant women do if they catch a cold?

The cold and hot weather in early spring makes people easily catch a cold, which has become a common disease during pregnancy. However, taking medicine after pregnancy will adversely affect the development of pregnant women and their fetuses. What should I do if I accidentally caught a cold during pregnancy? Colds are generally divided into common cold and influenza. The common cold refers to mild upper respiratory tract infection, characterized by nasal congestion and runny nose, which is common in adults. An adult will catch a cold two or three times a year on average. There are many different types of influenza, and when it is serious, it will turn into an infectious disease, especially when early spring and autumn alternate.

The symptoms of the common cold are relatively mild, and most of them can heal themselves, so ordinary people can heal themselves without going to the hospital. Therefore, pregnant women can recover from the common cold by drinking more water and resting.

However, if you have the flu, it will develop into a serious disease more easily than the general population. Although influenza virus is rarely transmitted through embryos, the common symptom of influenza is fever, which is also a risk factor for infant defects and dysplasia. Therefore, pregnant women need active treatment after suffering from influenza, but many drugs will have adverse effects on the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should pay special attention to keep warm during pregnancy and increase or decrease clothes in time.

The germs that cause colds may be in all aspects of our lives, so we should pay attention to hygiene in daily life, wash our hands often with soap, and stay away from the known sick people in the prevention of influenza. It is suggested that we should get flu vaccine and seek medical treatment in time after catching a cold.
