What to do if pregnant women have a stuffy nose

It is common for pregnant women to experience nasal discomfort before pregnancy, such as nasal congestion, nosebleeds, dry and painful nose, etc. These phenomena can be greatly improved through lifestyle adjustments. Do not take medicine casually if you have a blocked nose due to inflammation after pregnancy, otherwise the medicine can enter the fetus' body through the placenta and affect the fetus' health. Here are some fire-fighting methods to deal with nasal congestion caused by heat in pregnant women.

Once a pregnant woman develops nasal congestion, runny nose, etc., vasoconstrictors can be applied locally appropriately, such as rhinitis water and other nasal clearing solutions. This is best used when rhinitis is in the mildest state. If a person's overall mental state is poor due to nasal congestion, he or she can use frost nose patches to alleviate this phenomenon, because they contain cooling substances such as mint, which can have a refreshing and ventilating effect.

Another possibility is that it is because of the traditional Chinese concept that pregnant women should not stay in ventilated places for a long time. Many people keep their doors and windows closed at home, so their noses cannot breathe in fresh air, which leads to nasal sensitivity or even nasal congestion. Therefore, it is recommended to do a good job of room ventilation.

Pregnant women are a sensitive group. If a part of the body is really uncomfortable, it is recommended to use the most scientific method to consider it, such as going to the hospital for an electrocardiogram, blood pressure and other related examinations to rule out the possibility of heart failure.

You must prevent colds after pregnancy. If you have a mild cold, the precursor symptom is getting a fever, which is essentially a bacterial infection. The pregnant woman's body is hot, so you can drink some chicken soup or radish and cabbage soup. Ginger, orange peel, ginger tea and ginger candy drink have therapeutic effects on mild colds. You should also pay attention to drinking plenty of water every day and drink light salt water when you get up in the morning.
