Istirahat banyak aja, mbak. No medicine is needed. Pertama, karena virus toh gak ada obatnya kecuali sistem imun kita sendiri yg bisa melawannya. Kedua, efek sampingnya justru lebih banyak. Apalagi antibiotik. Sayang kan minum antibiotik saat gak diperlukan, nanti malah kumannya resisten semua.
Semoga cepat sembuh. Mamanya Alyssa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colds and Flu During Pregnancy Because your immune system is affected during pregnancy, cold symptoms may hang around longer than usual. A stuffy nose is very common in pregnancy because of hormonal effects on the nasal passages. The following measures may help to your cold a little more bearable: 1. Drink eight to 10 glasses of water each day. 2. If you can't stomach a big meal, try six small meals instead of three regular size meals. 3. Get plenty of rest. 4. Elevating your head and torso helps you breathe easier as well as stopping post nasal drip. 5. Use a steamer and/or humidifier to help moisten your nasal passages. You can also drape a towel over your head and shoulders over a pan of steaming water. 6. For sinus trouble apply warm compresses to help alleviate the congestion. 7. No medication especially if you are less than 12 weeks pregnant, or more than 38 weeks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ A GUIDE FOR PARENTS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Runny Nose (with green or yellow mucus) Know When Antibiotics Work (www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/community) Your child has a runny nose. This is a normal part of what happens during the common cold and as it gets better. Here are some facts about colds and runny noses. What causes a runny nose during a cold? When germs that cause colds first infect the nose and sinuses, the nose makes clear mucus. This helps wash the germs from the nose and sinuses. After two or three days, the body’s immune cells fight back, changing the mucus to a white or yellow color. As the bacteria that live in the nose grow back, they may also be found in the mucus, which changes the mucus to a greenish color. This is normal and does not mean your child needs an antibiotic. What should I do? • The best treatment is to wait and watch your child. Runny nose, cough, and symptoms like fever, headache, and muscle aches may be bothersome, but antibiotics will not make them go away any faster. • Some people find that using a cool mist vaporizer or using saltwater nose drops makes their child feel better. Are antibiotics ever needed for a runny nose? NO ! Taking antibiotics when they are not needed can be harmful. Each time someone takes antibiotics, they are more likely to carry resistant germs in their noses and throats. These resistant germs cannot be killed by common antibiotics. Your child may need more costly antibiotics, antibiotics given by needle, or may even need to be in the hospital to get antibiotics. Since a runny nose almost always gets better on its own, it is better to wait and take antibiotics only when they are needed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Kirim bunga, buket balon atau cake, klik,http://www.indokado.com/ >> Info balita, http://www.balita-anda.com >> Stop berlangganan, e-mail ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
