Thanks for your question on HCM.
In pregnancy I suggest chlorpherinamine meleate syrup for dry cough.
Avoid syrup containing codeine as it is centrally acting and may harm baby.
So take only chlorpherinamine containing syrup.
Also drink plenty of fluids and keep your self hydrated.
You can akso take soothing tablets which can give you relief from throat irritation.
