Care for the nasal and throat mucosa during pregnancy in case of a cold and runny nose

Colds during pregnancy rarely start suddenly. More often, they begin with minor symptoms that may go unnoticed at first. Slight dryness in the nose. A feeling of nasal congestion appears, even though there is no runny nose yet. The throat reacts more quickly to cold air.

At such moments, it becomes important to understand what to do during pregnancy when a cold appears, so as not to worsen the condition or cause harm. During pregnancy, the body responds differently to cold and weather changes. The mucous membranes become more sensitive, which is why a runny nose during pregnancy may occur even without typical cold symptoms. This happens often and requires a calm, cautious approach.

Cold and Runny Nose During Pregnancy: How to Reduce Discomfort

The first signs of a cold during pregnancy are most often related to the condition of the nasal and throat mucosa. It is the first to come into contact with dry air, cold temperatures, and microorganisms, so its comfort plays an important role in everyday well-being.

What helps in daily routine:

  • Rest. When a cold occurs during pregnancy, the body needs more resources. Even short breaks during the day reduce strain.
  • Humidified air. Nasal dryness during pregnancy often worsens during the heating season. Regular ventilation or air humidification helps maintain mucosal comfort.
  • Drinking fluids. Warm drinks reduce the sensation of throat dryness during pregnancy and help maintain fluid balance.
  • Nasal care. In case of nasal congestion during pregnancy, it is important to choose a nasal product with gentle action that does not dry out the mucosa.
