When must a doctor be consulted promptly?

If the expectant mother decides to endure the sniffles without drug treatment or if the possible treatment options have already been discussed with a specialist, a doctor does not necessarily have to be consulted. However, certain symptoms or combinations of symptoms can provide an indication of a serious underlying disease. Women who suffer from a cold during pregnancy and have one or more of the following symptoms therefore wanted to see a doctor immediately: Respiratory distress Anaphylactic shock with allergic rhinitis (possible signs: fainting, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal complaints, itching, skin rash, narrowing of the airways with respiratory distress) Signs of premature labor (abdominal pain on both sides that does not subside despite physical rest, vaginal bleeding) High fever Pain during breathing Non-satisfiable nosebleeds

  • Shortness of breath
  • Anaphylactic shock for allergic rhinitis (possible signs: fainting, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal problems, itching, skin rash, narrowing of the airways with shortness of breath)
  • Signs of preterm labor (bilateral abdominal pain that does not subside despite physical rest, vaginal bleeding)
  • High fever
  • Pain during breathing
  • Non-stop nosebleed
