Chronic phelgm before pregnancy

Hi mummies, I have chronic phelgm (see many GP and tcm but still not recovering) before pregnancy (like constantly need to spit out phelgm in throat kind and need to clear my throat). I recently found out I’m pregnant. With my chronic phelgm, I am afraid within my body there is some kind of infection that will affect my baby. What should I do.. sighhh

It will not affect the baby. Just make sure you have ample rest, drink more water, take vitamin C daily, and only take pregnancy safe medication. Do not self medicate! You can start taking folic acid for your baby now.

Thank you :) sometimes my phelgm will cause me to cough abit if I did not expel the phlegm. Hopefully it will be a smooth pregnancy and baby will be healthy. I have started taking folic acid :) thanks!

Hi, I have long term phlegm which I always have difficulty spitting out. I started tcm with physician Xie at Zou Yumin TCM 2 months ago and my phlegm greatly reduced! You may give it a try with her! 🩷
