What to do if pregnant women have sore throat

When a pregnant woman has a sore throat, it is likely that she has been infected by bacteria, or it may be a precursor to a mild cold. If it is simply a sore throat, you should try to drink more water. You can also drink honeysuckle tea or chrysanthemum tea. Generally, the sore throat caused by sore throat can be quickly relieved in about two days. If you have cold symptoms such as runny nose and fever, you should keep warm and avoid being exposed to the wind and catching a cold.

After catching a cold, don't be blown by the wind. Cover yourself with a thick blanket, drink hot water, and you will feel better after sweating. Soak your feet in hot water. Use more water, it doesn’t have to be too hot, just enough for your feet to tolerate.

If possible, you can make some kind of watery soup, which can be drunk by pregnant women and ordinary people. It is the type that can be used as both medicine and food. I will post a specific method later. Basically, peel and cut the water chestnuts (called water caltrops in some places, and they are crispy after cooking) and white radish into small cubes, and cut the pears (no need to peel, if you feel the skin is not clean, just soak it in alkaline water) and lotus roots into small cubes, add the soaked white fungus and cook a sweet soup together, and add a little rock sugar. Although pears are cool in nature, they are safe to eat after being cooked, so pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy can also eat them.

If you don't have a cold, you can use the second method. After all, it is possible for pregnant women to get a sore throat. The weather is dry in spring and autumn, and if there is heating in winter, some pregnant women who have a sore throat will feel even worse. If you are afraid that you can't eat cold food in the early stages of pregnancy, drink the sweet soup while it's hot, and you can replace rock sugar with brown sugar.

If you have a cough due to heat and have a lot of phlegm, you need to take Chinese medicine that has the function of moistening the lungs, relieving cough and clearing phlegm, such as Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs. Chuanbei is not only suitable for pregnant women, but also has no side effects on the fetus. You can eat Sichuan Fritillary Steamed Pear, or Sichuan Fritillary Steamed Egg, etc. If you have a fever, see a doctor immediately.
