What to Do When Pregnant Women Have a Cold, Cough, Sore Throat, and Runny Nose?

Question

What should pregnant women do if they have a cold with symptoms like coughing, a sore throat, and runny nose?

Answer

If pregnant women have a mild cold, they can alleviate symptoms by drinking plenty of water, staying warm, and eating a light diet. If symptoms are severe, such as a sore throat, consider drinking chrysanthemum tea to cool down and relieve symptoms. In case of severe coughing or fever, it is immediate to visit the hospital’s respiratory department and take medication under the doctor’s guidance.
