Hi,
Any infection during pregnancy is not advisable.
It seems that she might be having upper respiratory tract infection giving this problem.
As she is 5 months pregnant she can take some antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days after consulting your Obst.
In first trimester any medicine intake should be avoided as soon as possible.
Ok and take care.
