Question
I’m five months pregnant and have gone to the hospital twice, picking up a total of 4 days’ worth of medicine. It didn’t get better, so I went back and got another 4 days’ worth of Chinese medicine. I have a recurring cough; will taking too much medicine affect the baby?
Answer
Once pregnant, if you catch a cold during the mid-pregnancy period, it is possible to treat it. It is recommended that individuals should seek medical treatment at the hospital. If you feel uncomfortable and have a cough, pay attention to rest, eat a light diet, run more often, and boost your immune system. However, it won’t be very effective, so it is still recommended that individuals seek medical treatment at the hospital and receive proper treatment. Treatment requires patience; once treated well, you can rest easy.
