Pregnant women experiencing headache due to the common cold may find relief through head massage or warm compresses. Dietarily, they can drink more ginger tea or apple-honey water. It is important to get adequate rest and ensure sufficient sleep, stay well-hydrated, and consume appropriate amounts of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins to help alleviate symptoms. They should avoid public places to prevent cross-infection. If symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to visit a reputable local hospital for proper diagnosis and identification of the underlying cause.
