Runny nose during pregnancy is very common. Nasal congestion, green or yellow snot during pregnancy cause discomfort. The weakened immunity of the body is difficult to resist this unpleasant phenomenon, especially in the cold season. Consider how the rhinitis affects pregnancy.
Types of common cold:
- Often pregnant women are susceptible to so-called vasomotor rhinitis. This is a kind of cold that is caused by hormonal changes in the body and is accompanied by a transparent discharge from the nose. Vasomotor rhinitis does not pose a particular threat to health.
- Rhinitis may also be a reaction to an allergen. It arises suddenly in the form of a stream of liquid mucus and is accompanied by continuous sneezing. In this case, treatment is required from an allergist. Speaking about the danger of a rhinitis during pregnancy, caused by an allergy, it is worth noting that the child will have the same type of allergy after birth.
- Discharge from the nose can signal any catarrhal or viral diseases, which is extremely dangerous for the fetus in the womb and requires qualified treatment. Evidence that the virus has settled in the body can cause green snot during pregnancy and fever. With these symptoms, in no case should one engage in self-medication, since most traditional medicines are contraindicated in pregnant women. With this type of rhinitis, pregnancy can be threatened.
How to identify a viral disease with a cold?
The main thing about the presence of the virus in the body is fever and green snot during pregnancy. Initially the runny nose is accompanied by sneezing and has the appearance of liquid secretions. After two days, the secretions become smaller, and the nose becomes embedded. A few days later, green snot appear in the pregnant woman, which becomes thick and viscous.
