Though cough and cold are quite common
but when they occur in pregnancy they should be treated carefully.
Normal dry cough won’t affect the baby much but if severe cough is there with
expectoration it can affect the baby by,
- while coughing increased abdominal pressure will lead to rupture of chorionic
membranes and leakage of amniotic fluid sometimes.
- the underlying cause of cough can affect the baby like in case of cough due
to some infections, the infecting organism can affect the baby also.
But there are natural protectors inside
the body like, the amniotic fluid will protect the baby from the increased
pressure while coughing. And placental barrier to some extent will prevent the
entry of organisms from the mother to the baby.
Cough syrups will contain different ingredients meant to reduce particular symptoms
of cough like anti histamines, cough suppressants, expectorants, decongestants
and analgesics.
The recommendations
during pregnancy are,
-Anti histamines to reduce inflammation, in pregnancy the safe antihistamines are loratadine, doxylamine, diphenhydramine etc.
-Cough suppressants to stop coughing, dextromethorphan is considered to be safe.

-Decongestants to reduce the congestion of sinuses, pseudoephydrine hydrochloride is considered to be safe.
