ARI during pregnancy: a clear threat to a child's future

Every woman who is in an "interesting position" tries to avoid hypothermia, drafts and a long stay in the cold. But, despite all the warnings, reduced immunity makes itself felt. Even those factors that we simply do not notice in our lives are negatively affected by health.

As you probably already know, the suppression of immunity during pregnancy is the normal state of the body, conditioned by your position. Nature, in order to provoke an immune conflict between the mother and the fetus, creates it artificially. That is why, reduced immunity is the main cause of ARI. Other factors include - contact with a sick person, allergic diseases or stress. Let's look at what constitutes an ARI during pregnancy and how the virus can affect the unborn child?

What is dangerous for ARI during pregnancy?

The first trimester, in which all internal organs begin to form, is the most dangerous for your baby. It is at this time that the baby is not yet protected by the placenta, which serves as an insurmountable "barrier" for infections. When the disease in this period is likely that the normal course of development of the embryo will be violated. In addition, the transferred ARI can provoke early childbirth.

In the second trimester the fetus is reliably protected by the placenta, which does not let in most of the infections. But, with gestosis, the threat of termination of pregnancy , serious problems can arise.

Arising ORZ can adversely affect the formation of the spinal cord and brain, provokes a violation of nutrition in the fetus and a lag in development.

With incorrect or untimely treatment of Orz during pregnancy, it is possible to develop complications - bronchitis and pneumonia. These diseases require special antibacterial therapy.

The first symptoms of ARI

The disease begins to manifest mild discomfort, fatigue and headache. Catarrh, cough and sore throat occur throughout the day. In the active period, which is up to 3 days, the body temperature rises. By this time, all the symptoms of ARI are progressing.

Treatment of acute respiratory disease

To treat Orz during pregnancy should be approached with extreme caution. Because, most drugs can have a negative impact on the child's future. But the recipes of traditional medicine can not always provide the desired result, and harm will bring no less than tablets. Therefore, apply any herbal preparation is recommended only after consultation with the therapist.

For the treatment of the common cold, children's drops "Nazivin", "Naftizin" or "Aqua Maris" are mostly used. It is quite popular, and the most effective is washing the nose. For manipulation, you can use the already prepared mixtures of Dolphin (incidentally, the kit includes a special dispenser, with which the procedure is performed) or a solution of its own preparation with soda or sea salt. Regardless of your choice of the constituent solution, you need 1 tbsp. Water and 1 teaspoonful. Lies. Soda or sea salt (without impurities and flavors). Technique: if you have a dispenser, then use it. If not, we advise you to stand near the tub, bend forward. Pre-pour a little prepared solution into your hand and draw it in with your nose.

With pain in the throat, you need to use local antiseptics, it can be Tantum Verde, Ingalipt or any other nebulizer. Regular rinsings with herbs (calendula, chamomile or sage) perfectly relieve inflammation.

Antipyretics are used at a temperature above 38 * C. Many doctors prefer Paracetamol. Remember, "Aspirin" - as a febrifuge can provoke a miscarriage.

In no case during an orz during pregnancy, do not self medicate antibiotics. Improperly selected medications can provoke a child's future developmental defects.

It is worth noting that in the treatment of Orz during pregnancy should be used, drugs that stimulate the work of immunity. These can be Interferon, Grippoferon, or Viferon. They are absolutely safe and harmless.

Drink tea with raspberries, lemon. Include garlic and onions in your daily diet.

And lastly, I would like to urge all pregnant women to treat any disease more seriously. Any, even at first glance, mild indisposition, it is necessary to treat under the strict control of a specialist. Remember, during self-administration of antibiotics your child also uses them. Therefore, only a doctor can assign the drugs that suit your condition, which will not affect the fetal status at all.
