Nature protected the health of the child growing in the womb with the placenta - it is impervious to most microbes and viruses. But the symptoms caused by the intoxication of the mother's body can be dangerous for the unborn baby. Difficulty breathing with a stuffy nose reduces the supply of oxygen to the fetus, and a decrease in appetite in a pregnant woman with acute respiratory infections reduces the amount of nutrients needed for the unborn child. Therefore, it is very important for pregnant women to be treated at the first signs of acute respiratory infections.
Necessary
- - weak salt solution
- - tea with raspberries or lindens
- - paracetamol
- - sage, chamomile, calendula, eucalyptus
Instructions
Step 1
It is not recommended for anyone to carry the disease on their feet, let alone a pregnant woman. During this period, a woman needs to be at rest so that the disease does not progress.
Step 2
It is imperative that you consult a doctor so that he advises the necessary treatment, taking into account the situation of the woman. Drug treatment during the period is highly undesirable, especially in its early stages. You need to be careful even with some folk remedies for the treatment of acute respiratory infections during pregnancy.
Step 3
The first thing a pregnant woman should take with symptoms of acute respiratory infections is to drink as much liquid as possible. Tea with lemon, still mineral water, fruit drinks are suitable. It is best to use a mild solution of salt in boiled water to cleanse the nose. Other cold remedies can only be used as directed by a doctor.
Step 4
Pregnant women should never take hot baths and soak their feet!
Step 5
If there is a fever, then you need to constantly monitor your body temperature. The temperature below 38 ° C does not need to be brought down, since it is not dangerous for the fetus, and for the mother's body it is a protective reaction to infection. If the temperature is above 38 ° C, you can take Paracetamol. You can also reduce fever by drinking raspberry or linden tea.
Step 6
Aspirin is categorically contraindicated in pregnant women, since in the early stages it can cause pathology in the development of the fetus. A cold compress on the forehead and rubbing the body with a sponge soaked in cool water will ease the condition of a pregnant woman at high temperatures.
Step 7
ARI is usually accompanied by a cough, which is dangerous for a pregnant woman. When coughing, you can gargle with decoctions of herbs or do herbal inhalations. For this, sage, chamomile, calendula, eucalyptus are suitable. Medicated lozenges with essential oils will relieve sore throat and have anti-inflammatory effects.
Step 8
During the treatment of acute respiratory infections during pregnancy, vitamins for pregnant women will well increase the body's resistance. If a woman has not yet taken such vitamins, then in the fight against infection, this is the right time for this.
