2. What should pregnant women do if they catch a cold in summer?
Taking medicine is not recommended for the common cold with mild symptoms. Drink more water and have more rest. When fever occurs, if the body temperature is not higher than 38 degrees Celsius, physical cooling should be taken, such as cold compress with wet towel and small area alcohol wiping.
If the body temperature is higher than 39 degrees Celsius and lasts for more than 3 days, you will catch a cold in the early pregnancy and within two weeks after ovulation. Generally, medication will not have much impact on the fetus. You can choose acetaminophen under the guidance of a doctor. If you catch a cold two weeks after ovulation, drug treatment may affect the development of fetal central nervous system. At this time, it is best to see a doctor for observation. You can eat some Chinese patent medicines with relatively few adverse reactions in the second trimester; Taking cold medicine in the third trimester generally has little effect on pregnant women and fetuses. At this time, you can choose the right medicine at the suggestion of a doctor or pharmacist. However, it should be noted that pregnant women should not take aspirin. Because the use of aspirin in the first three months of pregnancy may be teratogenic, affect blood coagulation function and induce abortion.
Secondly, colds caused by bacterial infections can be treated with safer antibacterial drugs, such as penicillins and cephalosporins, according to the types of infected bacteria. For colds caused by viral infection, pregnant women should not use antiviral drugs without authorization because they are harmful to the fetus, and should seek medical attention immediately.
3. How can pregnant women prevent summer colds?
Hands are the main route of transmission of colds. The preventive method is to wash your hands frequently and don't touch your face with dirty hands.
The "three highs" diet is easy to catch a cold. Foods high in fat, protein and sugar will reduce human immunity. Therefore, the new dietary method to prevent colds is to mix meat and vegetables and pay attention to balanced nutrition.
Eating salty food is easy to catch a cold. In order to prevent colds, we should eat more light food. Due to the osmotic effect of sodium salt, the function of epithelial cells is inhibited, and the secretion of disease-resistant factors such as interferon is reduced, so the virus will take the opportunity to invade the upper respiratory mucosa and induce a cold.
It's easy to catch a cold when your feet catch cold. If your feet catch cold, it will reflexively cause vasoconstriction of nasal mucosa, making people vulnerable to cold virus.
Nervousness and worry are also easy to catch a cold. The immune function of patients with depression is reduced, which reduces the ability of human body to kill pathogenic microorganisms, because antiviral substances such as nasopharyngeal interferon and nuclease are obviously reduced, the local immune function of respiratory tract is reduced, and cold viruses are available.
An unclean toothbrush is liable to catch a cold. Some toothbrushes are often placed in dark and humid places, and bacteria are easy to breed. When brushing teeth, the virus is transplanted into the mouth through the toothbrush, which is easy to induce a cold.
Take 50g of garlic and 50g of onion for physical therapy of pregnant women's cold, and then put them into a beaker. Patients aim their nose and mouth at the bottle mouth alternately, and breathe the smell of garlic and onion 3-4 times a day, each time 10- 15min. This method has a very good effect on influenza, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia and whooping cough.
Prepare a pot of hot water, the water temperature is 50~55℃ (the heat that people can tolerate is appropriate), soak your feet, and continue hot water when the water is slightly cold to keep the temperature. After half an hour to an hour, you are sweating all over, your head is steaming, and your nose is blocked. Then you can wipe your feet and sleep. If you have a bad cold, soak it again before going to bed the next day to recover. This will cure your cold. You can dip your forefinger and middle finger in water and pull your throat until it turns red and purple. This method is very painful, but it has immediate effect. You should also drink some pear and apple water.
The harm of cold in pregnant women is the period of organ development in the early pregnancy (before pregnancy 12 weeks). At this time, if you are infected with a virus and have cold symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time to do a series of virus tests such as TORCH to find out whether there is obvious teratogenic virus infection. However, if you have a bad cold, or a cold complicated with pneumonia and have symptoms such as high fever, cough and dyspnea, it may lead to fetal hypoxia, miscarriage, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation and premature delivery. And improper medication may further increase the risk of the fetus. When these symptoms appear, you need to see a doctor in time and deal with them in time, especially when you have a fever.
In the early pregnancy, if the embryo in the pregnant woman develops in about 6 weeks, that is, the neural tube development period, severe high fever (rising 2℃~3℃ every day for 1 hour) can cause microcephaly and mental retardation.
