What can I take for a cough during pregnancy?

Question

Pregnant cough 16 SA which prevents me from sleeping well since two nights. I already have sinus rinses, I sleep with my head up and I drink 3l of water a day. All my symptoms have improved except for the cough which has appeared. So I am not worried about my health, but I am tired.

Hello Madam, thank you for your question, I am sorry to read about your troubles! I do not recommend cough syrups during pregnancy, especially because they have not been shown to be more effective than drinking liquids. Instead, I recommend continuing to use Sinus Rinse as often as necessary during the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime . It is this treatment that prevents secretions from running down the throat and causing coughing If needed, you can also take a spoonful of honey before bedtime, it is much more likely to help! I hope I've been of some help to you, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
