What to do if you have a sore throat due to a cold

It will be effective after about 10 times. 2. Drinking chicken soup can relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose during a cold, and it is also effective in clearing respiratory viruses. Adding some pepper, ginger and other seasonings to chicken soup, or eating it with noodles, can cure colds. 3. Pour hot water at about 42°C into a thermos teacup. People with a cold should put their mouth and nose into the mouth of the teacup and continuously inhale the hot steam three times a day. 4. When a pregnant woman has a cough, she can beat an egg, add a small amount of white sugar and ginger juice, and drink it with half a cup of boiling water. It will stop coughing after 2-3 times. 5. For those with severe colds and high fever, in addition to general treatment, body temperature should be controlled as quickly as possible.

How to prevent colds

1. Prevent virus invasion - stay away from sources of infection, public places and people with cold symptoms. Shopping and participating in discount activities are the favorites of many expectant mothers, but these places are mostly crowded, noisy, and the air is polluted. The density of pathogenic microorganisms is naturally much higher than in other areas. Pregnant women have low resistance and are easily infected.
