Pregnant woman with cold and tonsillitis
Disease description:
Recently, I’ve had a cold accompanied by tonsillitis, but I’m hesitant to take medication casually. What should a pregnant woman do if she catches a cold and develops tonsillitis?

Pregnant women with tonsillitis should seek immediate medical evaluation at a hospital and undergo anti-inflammatory treatment under the guidance of a physician. During medication, drugs with minimal impact on both the pregnant woman and the fetus should be selected; self-medication must be avoided to prevent adverse effects on fetal growth and development. Additionally, during illness, pregnant women may also alleviate symptoms through dietary therapy, which can help reduce inflammation and expel phlegm.
