Question
When I’m pregnant and have a cold with cough and a stinging pain in the stomach, what’s going on? Could there be any problems? Will it affect the baby?
Answer
If cold and cough during pregnancy lead to severe symptoms, they may cause abdominal muscle and uterine contractions, which can be harmful to the fetus and may even trigger a miscarriage. It is therefore recommended to seek detailed medical check-ups and follow the doctor’s treatment guidance as needed. In daily life, it’s important to drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, maintain a light diet, and avoid factors that may harm the fetus. If necessary, intravenous treatment can be considered, along with maintaining good rest and regular prenatal check-ups.
