Paracetamol has the ability to penetrate the placenta into the baby's body, but it does not have a harmful effect on it.
Cures for the cold
Very often, women do not know what exactly to treat a pregnant woman with a cold, when a strong cold or nasal congestion, which causes a bad condition, is disturbed. A woman who is troubled by a runny nose, complains of a difficult nasal breathing, restless sleep, general weakness, headaches. In addition, that the runny nose causes a poor state of health for the expectant mother, it is a great danger for child, because with bad nasal breathing or breathing through the mouth, the intake of insufficient oxygen through placenta. The duration of such a process can cause such a serious consequence as oxygen starvation, which in time can lead to intrauterine hypoxia of the fetus. That is why it is important to take timely measures to release the nose from accumulated mucus, as well as aimed at eliminating the very symptom of the common cold.A woman expecting the birth of a child should understand that it is strictly forbidden to tolerate the rhinitis, it is better to choose an effective drug, the use of which is permitted during pregnancy. However, it is forbidden to drip into the nose vasoconstrictive drops.Among the banned drugs are:

- Oxymetazanol.
Each time before you drip your nose, you need to wash it with saline or decoctions of herbs such as chamomile, calendula, eucalyptus, to eliminate excess mucus that failed to blow out. In addition, such actions allow the removal of pathogenic microorganisms, which are the cause of the formation of the inflammatory process. You can safely apply drops with nasal congestion, made on the basis of sea water or extracts of medicinal plants. To the number of authorized drops and sprays in the nose, experts include such drugs against colds for pregnant women:
- Aqualor;
- Aquamaris;
- Merimer;
- SALIN.
All of them are not medicinal preparations, but only allow to moisten the mucous membrane and release the nasopharynx from mucus and microbes.Effective is a drug such as Pinosol, which includes antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory essential oils. However, it can be used as a medicine for a cold during pregnancy only after appointment by a specialist or approval from him. Usually, when using such oil droplets, there is no deterioration of the mucosa, on the contrary, it begins to recover quickly. It is recommended to treat the common cold with the help of safe homeopathic medicines Euforbium compositum or EDAS-131.
Do not underestimate some traditional medicine that has a powerful curative effect. To this end, a pregnant woman can prepare drops herself, using aloe and calanchoe juice together or separately. The juice should only be used fresh, diluting it with water 1: 1.
Preparations for cough
Choose a remedy for colds during pregnancy, when the disease is accompanied by a cough, is not so difficult, because there are many effective drugs safe even for the child.First of all, treatment should start with the use of steam inhalations, for which you can use essential oils of tea tree and eucalyptus.
Despite the fact that during pregnancy, both oils are considered useful, during breastfeeding from the inhalation of essential oils of tea tree and eucalyptus it is better to refuse.
For the procedure, you need to pour 150 ml of warm water into the medicine tank and drop 2-3 drops of oil there. Breathe through the mouth for no more than 7 minutes, otherwise the procedure will not benefit the future mother, but harm.
From a cough you can take such syrups and pills against colds during pregnancy:
- Coldrex is a syrup that contains guaifenesin, safe for the baby and the mother. It does not contain dyes and other harmful additives. However, if the cough does not go away when it is used, you need to see a doctor for another medication. Also it is necessary to exclude its independent application.
- Lazolvan - tablets, syrup, solution, are allowed to use, starting from the 12th week of pregnancy.
- ATSTS - a preparation that dilutes sputum, the active ingredient of which is fluimitsil. He is appointed at all terms of pregnancy, but treatment should be carried out strictly under the supervision of a specialist. During the intake of the drug, you need to drink more liquid, which contributes to the dilution of phlegm.
- Mukaltin - tablets against colds for pregnant women, are made on the basis of the extract of the altea root. Belong to expectorants, they are prescribed for the treatment of dry cough.
- Ambroxol - a drug based on medicinal plants, is allowed to use only the second and third trimester of pregnancy under the supervision of a specialist.
Antibiotics in the treatment of colds are ineffective, as they are aimed at the destruction of microbes, while viruses continue to rapidly multiply. Moreover, these are very dangerous preparations for the child's organism. The only thing when one can not do without an antibiotic is the development of angina or pneumonia, but the drug itself and the course of treatment should be prescribed only by a specialist.
What to use for sore throat?
In pregnancy, only a small amount of drugs for sore throat are allowed. It is strictly forbidden to use medicines based on alcohol - sprays and tinctures. Absolutely safe are such sprays, tablets and solutions for rinsing the sore throat in a pregnant woman:
- Chlorhexidine - a solution of 0, 1%, has a slightly bitter taste, does not have the property of being absorbed into the blood, so the drug does not enter the baby's body. The drug is effective in pharyngitis and angina, it is used as a solution for rinsing the throat in undiluted form. The agent has one important drawback - after it for a while on the teeth remains a dark raid.
- Miramistin - a solution for rinsing the throat, is sold as a spray. It is prescribed for pregnant women in the treatment of pharyngitis and sore throat, it is not absorbed into the blood, so it does not reach the baby. Use the product in undiluted form.
- Lugol's solution - a drug that includes iodine, glycerol and potassium iodine, is prescribed to lubricate the inflamed tonsils with severe angina.
Lollipops, which are so often used in the treatment of colds when the throat is affected, are practically not prescribed to pregnant women, since they are either ineffective or contraindicated in pregnancy. The only exception concerns two preparations made on the basis of the natural component of lysozyme. To this group belong lollipops for the throat of Lizobakt and Laripront. These drugs against colds for pregnant women will help cure not only pharyngitis, but also neglected sore throat. A cold for a pregnant woman and her child with proper treatment does not pose a serious danger, the main thing is to choose the right medicine and adhere to all the recommendations of the treating doctor.
