Any illness that a woman suffers during pregnancy puts her into a state of fear for the life of her unborn child. There is a fear of the use of drugs, both of folk origin and laboratory.
Can inhalation be done during pregnancy?
This method of treatment does not work locally, but locally. At whatever stage of pregnancy the young mother is, this type of treatment procedure will not harm the child. In addition, inhalation with saline is an internationally recognized method for treating cough in pregnant women.
But inhalation of essential oils falls under the exception, because during the period of gestation, they can adversely affect both the mother's body and the child's condition.
If a woman does catch a cold, then it is necessary to take measures as soon as possible for her speedy recovery, otherwise, she will have to resort to antibiotics.
Inhalation types
Advice from a medical professional: If a woman in an "interesting position", in addition to the usual runny nose and cough, suffers from a constantly elevated temperature, then you should not use any warming procedures. In this case, you can inhale only some types of essential oils (lavender, eucalyptus and chamomile oils can be used as one of the components), and garlic inhalation.
If the young mother does not suffer from a rise in temperature, you can use other methods of inhalation. You can use both commercial inhalers and a regular pot of water. And also to use substances of a spraying nature, which are called "nebulizers".
One of the traditional types of inhalation includes inhalation with physical. solution.
This is due to the fact that saline solution does not lead to allergic reactions. Inhalation with herbs and essential oils can lead not only to the appearance of allergies, but also to complicate the entire process of carrying a child.
Inhalation with saline solution is absolutely harmless for mother and baby, it will help to cope not only with the appearance of a wet cough, but also with a stuffy nose.
But it is impossible to be treated with inhalation of this kind when a dry cough appears, it will not be able to cure this symptom. In addition, inhalation with potatoes in this case will be more effective, because this type of inhalation not only contributes to the discharge of accumulated phlegm in the lungs of a pregnant woman, but also softens the cough. Also, the risk of allergic reactions is zero.
A pregnant woman, of course, should pay attention to any changes in her health, but a young mother should understand that if treatment is not timely, she can cause serious harm to the fetus.
