What to do if you have a sore throat during pregnancy

Pregnant women will become weaker and their immunity will decrease, so they may be more susceptible to minor illnesses such as colds. But as we all know, pregnant women cannot take medicine casually. It is best not to take medicine if possible. Even if it is absolutely necessary, you must take medicine under the doctor's instructions. So what should you do if you have a sore throat due to a cold during pregnancy? Now here I will provide you with some small methods, hoping that they can be of useful help to you.

1. For pregnant women, it is best not to use drugs to treat sore throats caused by colds, because drugs will affect the growth and development of the fetus. 2. In terms of diet: avoid sweet and greasy foods, which hinder the normal functioning of the spleen and stomach. 3. Avoid spicy and hot foods: spicy foods such as peppers and mustard will aggravate nasal congestion caused by colds. 4 Avoid strong irritating condiments: curry powder, etc., which can cause dryness, choking, and other symptoms, and aggravate the patient's symptoms. 5 If you have a sore throat due to a cold, you can drink more drinks that have the effect of moistening the throat and clearing the throat. 6 A good sleep is the turning point of a cold, so you must rest on time and avoid strenuous exercise and sensory stimulation. 7. Pay attention to good air and environment, and try to avoid staying in an environment with poor air circulation for a long time. In addition, you can also: (1) scrape the skin of the raw loofah, chop it, squeeze the juice, and drink it with boiling water. Use 1 loofah 3 times a day. (2) Boil 50-60 grams of daylily root (lily root) in water and drink it 3-4 times a day. (3) Use 5 red dates, burn the skin over fire, and drink with sugar water. (4) After separating the egg whites from the fresh eggs, use bamboo chopsticks (a blender is better) to stir and beat repeatedly until a snow-like foam is formed. Set aside for later use. Take appropriate amount of black tea and rock sugar, put them into a teacup, and pour boiling water over them. After the tea is brewed, pour it into a bowl filled with "white snow", and the "white snow" will float on the water. Drinking this "snow water" while it is hot has good therapeutic effects. First of all, you should keep the indoor environment moist and the room temperature slightly cool. This will not only help dissolve excess yang in the body, but also ensure that the temperature difference with the outdoors is not too big, so you won’t catch a cold when you go out. Duck stew is best for nourishing yin. After entering winter, people will naturally eat more greasy things to resist the cold. Meat like beef and mutton is warm in nature, which is good for resisting the cold, but it can also cause food fire. In addition, eating more spicy things such as hot pot can also easily cause fire. Therefore, after replenishing fat in autumn, you should eat less irritating chicken, beef, and mutton, and eat more duck meat, especially stewed duck meat with wolfberry. In addition, lily, rock sugar, yam, coix seed, and polished rice are all foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness. Eating more vegetables and fruits is also very effective and does not hurt the yang energy.

From the above, we can know what to do if you have a sore throat due to a cold during pregnancy. In fact, this is a trivial matter, but it still needs to attract the attention of all expectant mothers. After all, every action of expectant mothers may have an impact on their children.
