What Causes Cough And Feeling Of Something Stuck In Throat During Pregnancy?

Hi, i have been on prednisone for my asthma for the last 5 days, i had my last dose yesterday(2x25mg). has eased my coughing to some degree but i now have a feeling of something stuck in my throat and hurts when i take a deep breath. This morning i also woke up and coughed up a fair amount of phlegm. I am hesitant to take too many medications as i am also 12.3 weeks pregnant. Thank you for your opinion

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, cough and feeling of something stuck in throat indicate possible upper respiratory tract infection most likely. As due course of steroid has been given, my guidelines for smooth recovery during pregnancy of 3 months are:
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil
- Avoid cold drinks, beverages, ice cream, dairy fat if consuming
- Avoid smoking, alcohol if consuming
- Benzyl pearls as chewable molecules for soothing the upper respiratory tract
- Cardamom sucking helps by herbal properties
Discuss need of antibiotic prescription as Cefadroxyl or others with your doctor during next scheduled visit.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
