As below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It is normal during cold to sneeze and feel mild discomfort while sneezing.

How many weeks is she pregnant?

Also, take home remedies, warm saline gargles and Vicks inhalation.

Hot soup and broth.

Better to consult a physician if there is a fever.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.

Hi Mam. Thanks for the reply. She is 16 weeks 6 days pregnant. Her LMP is 21/11/2017.Her all tests are normal. We are in continuous touch with Dr. XXXXXXX Tayal Mam through this app and shared the reports with her. she sneezes around 10-15 times continuously. Now it got reduced. while sneezing, she feel very light pain in her abdomen. Is it normal? Does sneezing puts any effect on the baby? We haven't taken any medicine as it is not suggested to take without doctor's recomendations.

Hi,

Sneezing can put mild pressure on the abdomen, but will not harm the baby, do not worry.

She can take tablet Diominic for relief.
