Question
I have a cold in the late stages of pregnancy, with pain on both sides of the abdomen when sneezing. Will this affect the fetus? And will maintaining a body temperature between 37-37.4 degrees Celsius have an impact on the fetus?
Answer
Condition Analysis: Hello, usually a mild cold has little effect on the fetus, but if symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention for intravenous treatment as soon as possible and avoid self-medication. Since you currently only have sneezing symptoms and your body temperature has not exceeded the normal range, it is generally not likely to cause intrauterine hypoxia in the fetus. The abdominal pain you feel may just be muscle spasms caused by sneezing. It is recommended to consume more fruits and water. If the symptoms are unbearable, you can seek antibiotic treatment at the hospital, as such medications have a smaller impact on the fetus. Wishing you good health.
