Rhinitis is becoming increasingly common in today's society, and there is a trend towards younger age groups. Therefore, parents should keep their children warm while taking care of them to prevent them from developing rhinitis. Pregnant women should also take measures to keep warm during pregnancy and avoid getting sick from colds and rhinitis. However, will pregnant women suffering from rhinitis affect the fetus?
Pregnant women with rhinitis can affect fetal development. When pregnant women have severe rhinitis, it can lead to intrauterine hypoxia in the fetus. However, as long as pregnant women change their breathing methods in a timely manner, such as breathing through the mouth when they cannot breathe through the nose, it generally does not affect fetal breathing. Secondly, pregnant women with rhinitis should actively seek treatment and not miss the best treatment opportunity.
Moreover, during treatment, pregnant women should follow the doctor's arrangements and use medication reasonably. Improper medication may lead to fetal developmental abnormalities. Nowadays, drugs for treating rhinitis usually contain ephedrine, which can enter the fetus through the placenta and cause problems such as miscarriage. So drugs containing ephedrine can only be used when pregnant women have severe rhinitis.
In addition to medication, using saline nasal wash to treat rhinitis has also been a relatively new treatment method in recent years. Saltwater nasal washing therapy mainly utilizes the achievements of human physiology. As long as appropriate tools are used to flush the nasal cavity of pregnant women, it can make the nasal cavity unobstructed and relieve rhinitis problems. In addition, pregnant women can also spray to treat rhinitis.
