To be treated for a cold of a pregnant woman should be very circumspect, so as not to harm the child!
Ideally, the future mother would not be sick at all, but to avoid colds and flu in the cold season rarely succeed. Even if you minimize contact with the outside world, viruses can bring a family member to the house who has become part of the family.
Furthermore! Sometimes they attack us from the inside without any external infection, as they doze in the genetic apparatus of cells, waiting for a favorable moment to express themselves. Pregnancy is just a number of such conditions.
The protective system of the female body, for physiological reasons, is in a state of forced oppression - immunosuppression. This is a guarantee that the mechanism of protecting the internal environment from all alien will not work against the life that has arisen. Complete tissue compatibility is possible only between two clones or identical twins, but not between the future mommy and her baby!
However, the same immunosuppression, which inhibits rejection reactions and promotes the preservation of pregnancy, makes a woman extremely susceptible to seasonal infections. If you picked up one of them, act wisely, so as not to harm the child!
Pregnancy: treatment of colds
No chemistry during pregnancy can not be taken (and the vast majority of drugs from pharmacies are powerless against viruses), but also it is necessary to approach phytotherapy with caution: weeds are sometimes more powerful medicines!
Phytomixtures
Under the ban, drugs containing alcohol (even in small amounts, it is harmful to the fetus! ), especially tinctures of immunostimulants - licorice, echinacea, magnolia vinegar, zamanichi, levzei, ginseng, rhodiola rose... They increase blood pressure and increase the pulse, increasing the stress on the intently working heart of the future mother and the vascular system the kid.
His tiny heart is beating in a furious rhythm, making more than 200 beats per minute. To accelerate this rate means to wear out the forming cardiac muscle and lay the foundation of cardiac diseases.
Tip: use an immunostimulant that does not give unwanted effects. This is a horse-radish, which has been used for a long time from a cold during pregnancy with folk medicine. Rub its root on a fine grater, mix with the same amount of sugar, leave in a warm place for 12 hours, strain and take 1 tbsp. l. every hour in the acute period of the common cold.
Pregnancy and runny nose
Vasoconstrictive drops during pregnancy
Preparations such as galazolin and naphthyzin apply only at the peak of the common cold, strictly observing the dosage (1-2 drops, and not a quarter of the bottle at a time! ) and periodicity, which depends on the variety of the active substance. Some drugs are used 1-2 times a day, others - 4-5 times: carefully read the instructions!
The less you use such drops, the better. Why?
1.Sossudosuzhivayuschee action can spread to the arteries of the placenta, violating the blood supply to the fetus, if you drip the medicine too often, long or a lot. Some part of it is absorbed through the nasopharyngeal mucosa, and the other flows into the esophagus and enters the blood from the digestive system.
2. Such drops have the unpleasant property of causing spasm not only of the leading but also of the draining vessels, strengthening the swelling of the nasal mucosa. The action begins to manifest from the 3-5th day of the disease, forming a dependence on the drug. Bottled - and it became easier to breathe, and an hour later the nose was laid

Cold during pregnancy: treatment and prevention
Frequent colds in pregnancy - a very common phenomenon, since after conception the body of each women face a mandatory for "interesting situation" factor - the physiological immunosuppression. That is, a decrease in the specific (acquired) immunity of the body to prevent rejection of the embryo.
That is why women in an interesting situation have a tendency to colds, as well as exacerbation of chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract. According to different data, the incidence of colds, ARI or SARS during the gestational period is 55-82%.
How does the cold affect pregnancy?
Everyone without exception is interested in the answer to the main question: is the common cold dangerous during pregnancy? And especially in the first trimester.
Colds are the result of exposure to the body of one of the types of adenovirus infection. While doctors can not say how this or that type of adenovirus, which was picked up by a future mother, reflects on the development of the fetus. But absolutely all obstetricians-gynecologists agree on one thing: the way a cold affects a pregnancy, depends, first of all, on its term.
Catarrhal diseases in the first weeks of the gestational age are the most dangerous, since it is during this period that the foundations for the normal gestation of a healthy child are laid. If you catch cold at the 1st and 2nd week (when most women do not yet know they are "in position"), this can lead to a spontaneous miscarriage. Colds at the 3rd week of pregnancy are also highly undesirable, because just at this time the implantation of the fetal egg in the uterine wall takes place, and it has no protection (placenta yet).
Any infections and exacerbations of illnesses, as well as a common cold at week 4 of gestational age, when the formation of the placenta begins, can cause a detachment with bleeding and miscarriage. According to medical statistics, due to acute respiratory viral infection early in life, 13-18% of pregnancies are interrupted prematurely.
The cold at the 5th and 6th week of bearing a child coincides with the stage in which the fetus the formation of a neural tube, and the illness of a future mother can cause the child to develop central nervous system.
Colds on the 7th, 8th, and 9th week with symptoms of nasal congestion and high temperatures affect the supply of oxygen to the fetus, which is just forming internal organs. Deficiency of oxygen leads to fetal hypoxia and a great risk of delaying its development.
Colds at the 10th and 11th weeks of pregnancy occur at a time when most of the vital organs of the unborn child have not only formed, but also begin to function. And catarrhal disease - especially in severe form with a high temperature - increases the threat of getting to the fetus produced by viruses of toxins. Especially it concerns the flu: those who have suffered this disease are very likely to be born premature babies or children with small weight, as well as the development of hydrocephalus or premature aging the placenta. The same factors work even when the expectant mother has caught a cold on the 12th or 13th week from the beginning of conception.
The second trimester of gestational age begins, and it is believed that a cold in the second trimester of pregnancy does not cause any perinatal pathologies. Nevertheless, at the 14th, 15th and 16th week, it can provoke inflammatory processes in the body of the unborn child - as a consequence of the infection on the placenta.
Although, indeed, directly to the child's organs, both the cold in the second and the third trimesters of the gestational age can no longer be affected so seriously as to cause their anomalies.
However, colds on the 17th, 18th, and 19th weeks are dangerous for the fetus due to intoxication organism of a woman who has a temperature of + 38 ° C and above does not fall a few days and completely disappears appetite. Intrauterine development of the child continues, and for this he needs oxygen and nutrients, which the cold mother misses.
In addition, with high body temperature, the cold at the 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd weeks of bearing a child (in short, all second trimester) can lead to placenta damage by a virus that often results in a placental pathology - fetoplacental failure. And viruses contribute to the activation of foci of infection, hiding in the body of the woman herself.
The cold in late pregnancy has its negative consequences. Very often, future mothers complain of shortness of breath and even of pain under the ribs during breathing. And when you cough, all the respiratory muscles, diaphragm and abdominal press tighten; while the jerky movement of the diaphragm affects the bottom of the uterus, from which the uterus comes in tone. And this can lead to a premature birth. It is this that is dangerous at 35 weeks gestational age.
Colds at 36 weeks of pregnancy and a significant increase in temperature are fraught with placental detachment and premature discharge of amniotic fluid (amniotic fluid). And at week 37, it is possible that the infectious agents enter the amniotic fluid (which the fetus systematically absorbs).
How can a cold affect the 38th and 39th weeks of the gestational age for a child, it is easy to imagine. It is clear that with a strong runny nose and a stuffy nose of his mother, he gets less oxygen. In late pregnancy, intrauterine fetal hypoxia is expressed both in its low activity and in excessive mobility. The latter leads to the entanglement of the umbilical cord. A repeated tight cord of the cord is the main reason for the complete cessation of oxygen supply to the baby and stopping his blood supply ...
Finally, the main consequence of a cold at 40 weeks of pregnancy: the birth of the long-awaited baby will be held at the observatory. This department is intended for those who are in labor, who has a fever (above +3, ° C), who has symptoms of acute respiratory disease or influenza, various infections of the birth canal, is a carrier of the hepatitis virus. And the child - immediately after his birth - is isolated from his mother.
By the way, the onset of pregnancy after a cold does not have any negative consequences, as a rule.
Symptoms
The first symptoms of a cold during pregnancy are no different from the signs of this disease in a not pregnant part of mankind. This is a general malaise and headache, then begins a runny nose, sits in the throat and painful swallowing, slightly increases body temperature. The temperature can rise to +3, ° C, although a cold at pregnancy without temperature (or with subfebrile temperature) happens much more often.
Cough and symptoms of general intoxication can appear to the rhinitis, which manifest as weakness, loss of appetite and drowsiness. The disease lasts from 5 to 12 days. If at the time of not taking up the treatment of the disease, complications are possible: pharyngitis, sinusitis or bronchitis.
Who to contact?
Obstetrician-gynecologist PulmonologistTreatment of colds during pregnancy
To begin treatment of cold at pregnancy is necessary at the first signs of illness. And remember that during the gestation period, most medical drugs, including aspirin, are contraindicated.
But then how to treat a cold during pregnancy? Proven popular means will be used first. Because you can not soar pregnant women, get your hands on, and this will ease the nasal breathing. Wrap up, put on woolen socks and get under the blanket: warmth, peace and sleep are good for a cold. Do not forget about the abundant drink - hot green tea with lemon and honey, tea with lime blossom, cranberry juice, broth of wild rose, compote of dried fruits. Ginger in the form of tea also helps, not only with catarrhal symptoms, but with nausea in the morning.
It is often possible to read that you can drink hot chamomile tea or tea with kalina at night. You can, of course, but not during the gestational period! At once it is necessary to emphasize that not all herbs for cold during pregnancy can be applied. Here is a list of herbs that are contraindicated for the entire gestational period: aloe, anise, barberry, elecampane (grass and root), sweet clover, oregano, St. John's wort, strawberry (leaves), viburnum (berries), raspberries (leaves), lemon balm, lovage, wormwood, licorice (root), celandine, sage. Accordingly, do not take drugs containing these plants.
But about the chamomile pharmacy (which is often used to normalize the menstrual cycle), there is no definite recommendation. According to many experienced herbalists, chamomile during pregnancy can provoke bleeding and is therefore not recommended. Others believe that the camomile can be taken literally all gestational period, but no more than two cups a day ...
Let's notice at the same time that garlic during pregnancy from cold should not be used, except that chop the tooth and breathe it with phytoncides - from the common cold. The fact is that garlic reduces the absorption of iodine. A lack of iodine in a future mother leads to a violation of the maturation of the fetus and increases the likelihood of hypothyroidism in the newborn.
At high temperature vodka wipes the body (a third of a glass of vodka, two thirds of water) or acetic (in the same proportion).
With pain in the throat, you should often rinse it with a solution of salt - cooked or sea (natural food): one teaspoon per glass of warm boiled water. Or solutions of soda (teaspoon per glass of water) and furatsilina (1 tablet for 200 ml of water). Helps rinse throat with tincture of calendula: 10 drops of alcohol tincture per 100 ml of water. You can also use a water infusion of home cooking: a tablespoon of dry calendula flowers to a glass of boiling water.
Will relieve the pain in the throat and rinse, prepared from the juice of half a lemon, diluted in a glass of warm water with adding a teaspoon of liquid natural honey (lemon juice can be replaced with two tablespoons of natural apple cider vinegar). By the way, honey during pregnancy from colds is very useful. So a cup of hot milk with a spoon of honey before going to bed can save a woman from sore throats and prevent a cough. Also very useful lemon (directly with a crust) and cranberries (in any form).
Some people recommend the alcohol solution of Chlorophyllipt (a mixture of chlorophylls from eucalyptus leaves) to gargle, but in instructions for the drug noted that "during pregnancy and lactation, the use of the drug is possible, assessing the ratio of benefit and harm "...
At treatment inhalations are also effective. For example, with mint oil (menthol) or balm "Asterisk". You can breathe twice a day (in the morning and in the evening) for 15 minutes, covering your head with a towel, over potatoes boiled in a uniform, just like our great-grandmothers did. And with acute pain in the throat, make a warm compress with alcohol (1 part of alcohol and 2-3 parts of water) and keep it until it dries completely. You can also lubricate the glands with tincture of propolis or use Kameton aerosol (there are no reliable data on the safety of the drug during the gestational period on Bioparox aerosol).
To treat a cold, wash your nose with salt water or bury it in your nose a full pipette several times a day (the solution is prepared based on a teaspoon of salt for half a cup of water). You can use the drugs Aquamaris or No-salt, which are solutions of sea salt.
A positive effect is the instillation in the nose (2-3 drops a few times a day) of warm olive, sea-buckthorn or menthol oil. And also moistened onion juice with cotton swabs, which must be kept for several minutes in the nostrils 3-4 times a day. For many, it is almost possible to get rid of the beginning rhinitis with the help of balm "Asterisk which should lubricate the skin near the "entrance" to the nose.
To overcome cough, it is best to drink not very hot milk, which is added with natural honey and butter. Drink slowly and in small sips. An effective folk cough remedy is a warm broth of apple peel with honey or a decoction of figs in milk (4 dry berries per 200 ml of milk). With a dry cough, you can take infusion of mother-and-stepmother (on a tablespoon three times a day), water infusion althea, primrose, lavender or decoction of herb thyme (thyme only in the first trimester of gestational term). For better separation of sputum when coughing, inhalations with soda or Borjomi mineral water are used.
What cold medicines can I take during pregnancy?
Often doctors recommend medications for colds during pregnancy - drops in the nose, sprays, potions, syrups and pills for cough. Their use must be treated with great care.
For example, drops, ointment and spray Pinosol, judging by the components specified in the instructions, during pregnancy is not dangerous. However, essential oils found in the preparation are common pines, peppermint, eucalyptus, thymol, guaiazulen (oil of citric wormwood) - can lead to an allergic reaction with mucosal edema nose. In addition, butyloxyanisole is indicated in the additional ingredients. It is a food additive used to slow the oxidation of fats. This substance can have a toxic effect on the body, in the EU its use in the food industry is prohibited.
It is contraindicated to use such drugs for colds during pregnancy: Pertussin, Tussin plus, Joset, Glikodin, Ascoril, Travisil, Bronholitin, ACTS, Grippex, Kodelak, Terpinkod. Do not use lollipops and lozenges for sore throat or cough: in addition to components of plant origin, they are full of chemistry. As their manufacturers diplomatically write, "there are no contraindications to the use of the drug during the gestational period, however, take it should strictly follow the doctor's prescription, which must carefully weigh the expected benefit to the mother and the potential risks to the fetus. "
Now, as to how candles are applied during pregnancy from a cold. For example, candles Viferon used in acute respiratory viral infections (influenza, respiratory diseases complicated bacterial infection), pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis, as well as with urogenital infections and herpes (including genital form). Rectal suppositories can be used only after 14 weeks from the beginning of conception. This drug contains recombinant human interferon alpha-2, ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol acetate and has antiviral, immunomodulatory and antiproliferative effects. It is used in the treatment of various infectious and inflammatory diseases of adults and children (including newborns). In the form of an ointment, Viferon is used to treat herpetic lesions of the skin and mucous membranes. Ointment is applied a thin layer on the affected skin 3-4 times a day for 5-7 days.
Some doctors prescribe Genferon. Obviously, in the hope that the same interferon contained in them will increase the woman's immunity. But, firstly, geneferon is used only with urogenital infections and diseases of the genital organs. Secondly, drugs with immunomodulating action can not be used during bearing, because their effect on the fetus is not yet known.
Homeopathy is applied only on the advice of a doctor. Thus, the homeopathic preparation Stodal, which includes mainly herbal ingredients, affects different types of cough and exerts an expectorant and bronchodilator effect. However, as indicated in the instructions, he "is carefully administered during pregnancy and lactating mothers under strict doctor's recommendations."
And in the instruction of the homeopathic candles Viburkol it is written that "pregnancy is not a contraindication to the prescription of the drug". These candles have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, sedative, spasmolytic effect. They are prescribed in the complex therapy of acute respiratory viral infections and other uncomplicated infections (including newborns), as well as in inflammatory processes of ENT organs and inflammatory diseases genitourinary system.
Prevention
All measures to prevent colds during pregnancy are useful for the general health of expectant mothers and their babies. It is necessary to observe simple rules:
- Rule number 1 - before each exit outside the premises, the nose mucosa should be lubricated with oxolin ointment, which must be washed off after returning home.
- Rule number 2 - to limit "hikes" to public places, especially during the period of activation of "seasonal" infections, do not hesitate to put on gauze dressings when visiting medical institutions, avoid contact with a cold person, even if it's coming relatives.
- Rule number 3 - temper the body with a contrast shower or pouring feet with cool water (+ 18-20 ° C).
- Rule number 4 - physical activity and fresh air: gymnastics and yoga, walking at least two hours a day.
- Rule number 5 - proper nutrition and taking multivitamin complexes recommended by a doctor.
- Rule number 6 - normalization of the intestine, which will help fresh vegetables and fruits, sour-milk products and bread with bran.
Agree, these rules should be adhered to, so that a cold during pregnancy does not mar this particular period in the life of a woman and her family.

When fertilization occurs, depression of the immune defense of the woman's organism begins. This is necessary for the correct and normal course of pregnancy. Otherwise the fetal egg can be perceived as an alien body. It is because of the decrease in immunity that infection occurs with some colds. Is it worthwhile to intervene in this process?
Colds in pregnant women should necessarily be cured. What drugs can be taken while doing this - you will learn further. Many future mothers also resort to the use of folk medicine recipes. In most cases, this disease is accompanied by fever, chills, runny nose, cough and sore throat. Consider what preparations you can get pregnant with a cold.
Increase immunity and fight viruses
Medications for pregnant women for colds can have an antiviral effect. But at the same time they increase their own immunity. The drugs that provoke the production of interferon are very popular.

Drugs of this type include "Interferon leukocyte "Anaferon "Ergoferon" and so on. Separately it is necessary to allocate a medicine "Viferon". Pregnant for colds, it is injected rectally. This method of use allows you to avoid getting the active substance into the blood. It is worth noting that not all antiviral and immunomodulating compounds that produce interferon are allowed to use at different terms of pregnancy. Such drugs as "Lycopid" and "Isoprinosin can be used only in the third and second trimesters.
Antibacterial drugs

Among the antibiotics that are allowed during the waiting period of the child, you can note "Amoxiclav "Flemoxin "Augmentin "EcoBall" and so on. The active substance of all the listed drugs is amoxicillin. He is allowed to use in the second and third periods of pregnancy. In the first third of the term, the drug is contraindicated, since it can harm the developing organism. In especially difficult situations, doctors can recommend other antibacterial compounds.
Eliminate sore throat
If a pregnant woman becomes ill with a cold, then the main comorbid symptom becomes pain and a sore throat. Eliminate this problem will help resolve the medication during this period. These include the drug Miramistin, Chlorhexidine, Tantum Verde. These medications are available as a spray. You just need to spray the medicine into the larynx. The described agents have an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect. The drug "Tantum Verde" is also recognized as an anesthetic. It reduces the severity of pain and eliminates itching.

With nasal congestion, doctors sometimes allow the use of "Nazivin" or "Vibrocil" drops. However, the dosage of the vasoconstrictor should be infant formula. In some cases, with prolonged runny nose, physicians prescribe warming up.
What should I do if the temperature rises?
What to drink to a pregnant woman with a cold if she has a fever? Many doctors do not advise to bring down the temperature to a mark on the thermometer at 3, degrees. It is in this state that the body can most effectively cope with the infection itself. However, this statement does not apply to pregnant women. Future mothers should closely monitor their temperature. When the scale on the thermometer crawled to a value of 3, you need to think about antipyretic drugs.

Development of a cold in the second trimester of pregnancy
A woman, whose body can not prevent the penetration of a viral infection during pregnancy, is experiencing how such a process will affect the development and condition of her child. It is known that any disease is completely differently manifested in different terms of pregnancy. Colds in the second trimester of pregnancy can no longer cause such serious harm as in the first 12 weeks of bearing a child, but there may be some irregularities.What is dangerous disease in this period?
Anatomy of the placenta
