My wife is 7moths gone and has a horrible cold what can she NOT take to help it?

Answer 1

Saline nasal spray or drops will safely help with congestion. Also, a humidifier will help. Make sure she is taking her prenatal vitamins and drinking lots of orange juice. She should get plenty of rest. If things don't improve, call the doctor

Answer 2

You can find out more about natural hemorrhoids cure here http://curehemorrhoid.info
Diarrhea can contribute to hemorrhoid formation because the bowel undergoes pressure strains due to the condition. Undue pressure on the veins that make up internal hemorrhoidal structures can worsen existing damage. Internal hemorrhoids are not visible, unless they proplapse (protrude) from the anus, either constantly or during a bowel movement. If this is the case, then you have a grade III or IV internal hemorrhoid. If the protrusion is on the anal verge or the area surrounding the anus, then its likely an external hemorrhoid. Reducing pressure from issues of diarrhea and constipation will help. Not straining during a bowel movement, not lifting heavy objects, not sitting for extended periods, all will help.

An external hemorrhoid is simply a vein located at the anal verge, the wall of which as weakened and protruded. Don't push on it, this will only increase pressure and worsen it. The body has to repair the vein wall and rebuild the integrity. This takes time, perhaps weeks, if all goes well. Use sitz baths and over-the-counter medications such as pads or creams to provide symptom relief in the interim. These won't solve the issue long term, but will give the tissue a better chance at self-healing.

Internal hemorrhoids are a different matter and require more intervention. Your best bet is to educate yourself about the condition, its causes and what options there are to treat it both short and long term. Don't ignore it though, hemorrhoids tend to become chronic in nature, lasting years or decades in some cases.

Answer 3

I would NOT take any med before consulting a doctor. Do remember there are plenty of natural remedies. I found mint teas top help, putting an onion beside my bedstand, eucaliptic plant close by, keeping my feet up. LOTS OF WATER, get some sunlight through a window, warm water and salt up you nostrils sounds gross but worked well for me. Don't over do it on the honey, but a spoonful helps smooth the throat. By the way, thank you for careing about your wife and your new baby enough to ask for help. The world needs more perople like you!

I had a nasty cold while I was pregnant, too. I used a humidifier and saline drops to help with congestion and I kept my head elevated (that's the best thing to do) I also took Sudafed when I couldn't take the stuffiness anymore.

I hope she conquers her cold fast - there's nothing worse than being pregnant in the summer other than being pregnant in the summer and being sick! : )

Answer 5

Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the anal canal. They can be itchy, bleeding and/or painful protrusions just under the skin. To get rid of hemorrhoids you can use this natural method that already have thousands of positive reviews https://tr.im/m0lYj
There are two types internal and external. Internal are inside the anal canal in the lower rectum and external are at the anus. They result from increased pressure in the veins often due to straining during bowel movements and during pregnancy. Scratching in an attempt to relieve the itching symptoms further weakens the area and compounds the problem.

Answer 6

I would suggest a chat with your local pharmacist to be honest. Most things are fairly safe to take, but your pharmacist will give you something that will ease the symptoms ( her medical history, as well as her pregnancy needs to be taken into account ) .
What may be safe for one pregnant woman, may not be for another, so professional advice is probably best .
Hope she feels better soon, good luck with your baby too .
