Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough During Pregnancy

Hi!I m 32 years old and at 23rd weeks of pregnancy. This is my first issue.Last week my ultrasound was done with the findings of Polyhydramnios & the AFI was 30 cm.my Dr suggested me to take complete bed rest but I m also suffering from coughing for last 9 days & bed rest causes more coughing. So I can rest accordingly. How the AFI level can be reduced? My diabetes in the last week was 7.4 in random.Hemoglobin level is 9.4.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

AFI has got no relation with a cough. Consult a physician and get a start on antibiotics if necessary. If AFI is high, Caesarean section might be needed.

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

Take care

Regards,
