In the early stages of pregnancy, if a pregnant woman catches a cold, it generally does not affect the fetus unless it is particularly severe, such as having a high fever. In day-to-day life, it is important to drink plenty of water, rest, avoid overexertion, enhance nutrition, and eat light, easily digestible foods. These measures can typically alleviate the condition on their own. However, if a cold occurs again and the symptoms are severe, such as high fever or intense coughing, it is necessary to seek timely treatment at a reputable hospital. During a cold, it is advised to avoid medication unless absolutely necessary, in which case medication should only be used under the guidance of a doctor.
