Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent dry cough along with itchy throat during pregnancy which is due to lung infection leading to upper respiratory tract infection / bronchitis. In case of pregnancy infection occur due to low immunity so take diet rich in minerals and vitamins to boost the immunity . Avoid use of sharp , oily and fried food substances. You should take cough expectorants. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get pulmonary function tests and X-ray chest done. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should take throat soothing agents such as strepsils. Take combination of antibiotic amoxiclav along with antihistamine such as Levocetirizine. Doctor may also refer you to gynecologist for proper diagnosis .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
