Due to slower metabolism during pregnancy, toxins in the body may not be effectively eliminated. To relieve heat-induced cold symptoms, it is recommended to drink more water to promote metabolism, maintain a light diet, and consume more vegetables and fruits with heat-clearing and detoxifying properties, such as Chinese cabbage, pears, and radishes. Keeping bowel movements regular, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding late nights, and engaging in moderate outdoor exercise can help enhance immunity. If the heat-induced cold becomes severe, prompt medical consultation is advised, and treatment should be followed according to medical guidance.
