What should I do if a pregnant woman has a cold?

Maybe many of our pregnant mothers have not been in good health recently and have caught a cold. This situation must be prevented, otherwise once a cold occurs, it will threaten the health of our pregnant mothers and our babies. Moreover, many diseases now have some drug resistance, and it is very difficult to treat. Let's find out what to do if pregnant women have a cold and how to treat it.

1. To use diet therapy to treat colds, you must first distinguish between wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds. The biggest difference between wind-cold and wind-heat colds is the condition of the sputum or nasal discharge. If you have clear nasal discharge, cough, and thin white sputum, it is a wind-cold cold. Thick phlegm and thirst are symptoms of a wind-heat cold. For a cold caused by wind and cold, it is advisable to eat spicy and warm foods that can dispel the cold. You can take some walnuts, green onions, black tea, ginger, etc., mash them, boil them with water until boiling, then drink it while it is hot and cover yourself with a blanket to sweat. When you have a cold caused by wind and cold, you should try not to eat raw or cold food; as for a cold caused by wind and heat, you should eat spicy and cool food that can clear heat. You can take a few green onions and a little maltose, boil them with clean water, remove the onions, add an egg white, stir well, and take it warm in several times. This method is very effective in treating cough, hoarseness, and sore throat caused by wind-heat cold.
