Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion in case of dry cough with cold it might be viral infection.
In case if there is cough with altered sputum then you might need a course of antibiotics.
Avoid chill items and take lukewarm water for drinking.
Taking adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day is very important in pregnancy to prevent urinary tract infections(UTI).
Presence of albumin or protein in urine needs to rule out preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia is a condition associated with high BP along with protein in urine.
The 24 hour protein in urine is more specific for preeclampsia so it is advised.
Don't worry.
If the BP is normal there is nothing to worry.
So I would like you to see the doctor to check if there is need of antibiotics for the respiratory tract infection.
And taking adequate fluids as I said above is very important.So try for that.
Otherwise nothing to worry.Avoid stress.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
