What should I do if I catch a cold during confinement?

It is said that women have to go through so much in their lives, especially pregnancy and confinement. During these two periods, you must take care to protect your body, not eat what you shouldn’t eat, and not do what you shouldn’t do. But there are also unexpected situations. For example, some mothers are caught in the wind during the confinement period and may experience cold and pain symptoms. So what should we do in this situation?

If a woman catches a cold during the confinement period, she may experience physical pain. At this time, she can be treated with painkillers, but the side effects of this drug are relatively large.
