Suggest Treatment For Cold And Constant Cough During Pregnancy
Well I am a pregnant woman in her 2nd trimester and I have a cold, and I cant stop coughing. I have taken Tussin and Dimetapp at the same time and it does not work. It is 3 in the morning and I cant sleep, what do I do.. I tried to spit the phlegm up and it just does not want to come up.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the constant cough if associated with altered sputum then it needs to rule out chest infection.Take cough suppressants.Avoid chill items.If the cough is dry it might be mostly due to allergy.Avoid
allergens in the room like dust etc.Dont worry.It will subside.In case of chest infection antibiotics might be needed.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
