Is it useful to fumigate vinegar for pregnant women with colds?

When we were young and lived in a bungalow, we would make a fire when the weather was cold. The fire in the firepit could make the house very warm. Parents will choose to pour some vinegar on the stove cover and let the vinegar heat and evaporate. At this time, the whole house will have a sour smell. This is what is called fumigation with vinegar, which is a traditional method that can effectively kill bacteria. So, for pregnant women with special physical conditions, can they also use vinegar after catching a cold?

This vinegar fumigation can kill some indoor germs, but it cannot drive away the germs in your body, so you can drink more water or take some Isatis root. These will not affect the fetus. I suggest you boil some ginger juice and brown sugar water, drink it while it's hot, then sleep in bed and sweat it out. This method is more effective than that one.

1. Apple honey water: Peel 5 apples, cut into small pieces, add 1 liter of water, boil for 5 minutes, cool naturally to about 40°C, add appropriate amount of honey and stir evenly, drink in small amounts several times a day. 2. Shredded ginger and radish soup: 25 grams of shredded ginger, 50 grams of sliced ​​radish, add 500 ml of water, cook for 15 minutes, add appropriate amount of brown sugar, and drink while hot. 3. Onion and garlic porridge: Take 10 clean scallions, chop them, 3 cloves of garlic, 50 grams of rice, add water and cook into porridge, drink it while hot. 4. Cabbage and scallion root soup: Wash and chop 3 cabbage hearts, 6 scallion roots, boil 1 bowl of soup, add appropriate amount of brown sugar, and drink it while hot. 5. Chicken soup: Wash and clean a tender chicken, add water and boil it. Add seasonings (pepper, ginger, chopped green onion) to the chicken soup when eating, or use it to make noodles. It can relieve nasal congestion and runny nose symptoms during colds and enhance the body's resistance. 6. Radish soup: Wash and slice 150 grams of white radish, add 900 ml of water, boil until 600 ml, add 5 grams of sugar, drink one cup while hot, and then drink another cup after half an hour.
