Pregnant women belong to a special group and are most afraid of getting sick after pregnancy. Because pregnant women are quite special, they cannot take medication casually when they are sick, otherwise it will affect fetal development. Many pregnant women experience a decline in their physical condition after pregnancy and often fall ill and catch colds due to external influences. So what should pregnant women do if they have a cold and their nose is blocked, causing them to shed tears?
If a pregnant woman has a blocked nose and tears after catching a cold, it indicates that the cold is already quite serious and it is best to seek treatment in a timely manner. You can go to the hospital to see the doctor. Under the guidance of the doctor, you can use some traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations. The doctor will prescribe the medicine according to the situation of the pregnant woman. These drugs will not affect the development of the fetus. However, it is important to note that one should not buy medication at will just to save time. Improper medication can affect fetal development and, in severe cases, may even lead to miscarriage.
After a pregnant woman has a severe cold, in addition to taking prescribed medications on time, she should also pay attention to controlling her diet. During a cold, do not eat greasy food, especially spicy food, as it can worsen the condition. Always drink plenty of warm water, at least 4 cups a day. Drinking plenty of water can not only replenish the body's lack of hydration, but also alleviate the discomfort caused by colds.
It is best to avoid outdoor activities during a cold to prevent catching a cold again. When recuperating at home, it is important to rest more, avoid physical activity as much as possible, and get enough sleep in order to recover quickly from illness. In addition, you can eat some fruits containing vitamin C, such as oranges, strawberries, kiwis, etc., which are very helpful in treating colds.
