Four ways to alleviate the problem of pregnant women's nasal congestion

First of all, let's see, is it common for pregnant women to have nasal congestion?

In fact, about 2% pregnant moms have poor nasal ventilation and nosebleeds during pregnancy, especially in the last three months. Not all cases of nasal congestion during pregnancy are caused by colds. Studies show that most of them are caused by nasal mucosa secreted by endocrine system, which makes nasal mucosa blood vessels congested and swollen. Once you give birth, the nasal congestion and nosebleed will disappear, leaving no sequelae. Therefore, there is no need to be too nervous.

If the symptoms of nasal congestion are serious, you can't rub it hard, because the nasal blood vessels are congested and thickened at this time, and it is easy to be broken and bleeding. Once bleeding occurs, you need to pinch your nose to stop it quickly. If it is difficult to stop it, you can put a small clean cotton ball in your nostrils and press it tightly for 5-1 minutes and cover your nose column. If there is more bleeding or frequent recurrence, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, and pay attention to check whether there are diseases such as pregnancy-induced hypertension and pregnancy hemangioma.

At this time, you can apply a hot towel to your nose, or fumigate your nose with hot steam, which can relieve the symptoms. Remember not to use nasal drops, such as ephedrine and nasal drops, especially pregnant mothers with pregnancy-induced hypertension, because ephedrine drugs will make blood pressure higher and aggravate the impact on the fetus; Do not use anti-allergic drugs such as hormones and antihistamines at will, so as not to be harmful to the baby after taking them. If the illness requires non-use drugs, it must be used under the guidance and advice of a doctor.

If you find that it is rhinitis during pregnancy, you can relieve it by the following methods:

1. Remember to drink plenty of water and put your head up when you rest at night.

2. Steam can temporarily relieve your stuffy nose. Take a warm bath, and then stay in the steam-filled bathroom for a while. Or, you can soak the towel with hot water and then breathe with your face to the towel.

3. Humidify the air with a humidifier or sprayer, and put them near your head when you sleep at night. Be sure to clean according to the cleaning instructions of the humidifier to avoid bacterial growth.
