I am 6 months pregnant for the second time, now I have a cold, sneezing, runny nose. I would like to ask if a 6 month pregnant woman has a cold, sneezing, and a runny nose, will it affect the fetus? What medicine should I take? I heard that there is also an oral medicine for pregnant women with flu in the 6th month, but I am also worried, I cure myself according to folklore by eating garlic, onion porridge, perilla leaves, drinking lemongrass, ginger, but it takes a long time to heal and is very tired. If the flu is left for a long time, do you worry about the baby having any problems? Ask your doctor for advice.

Hello,
In my case, the pregnancy is 6 months and I can take some medicine if I accidentally get the flu without harming the baby. However, you should see a specialist to see if you have to take medicine to treat the 6th month cold and flu and can do a test to assess the cause of the flu.
You can go to one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide for a specialist doctor to examine and consult in detail.
