Is Dry Cough Common During Pregnancy?

Is a dry cough common during pregnancy? I know that stuffy nose is, but I ve had a dry cough at night for almost two weeks and I don t feel sick otherwise or during the day. Is there something I can take safely that will help me get some sleep at night?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion dry cough at nighg is mostly the result of allergy.Antihistamines like cetrizine might be helpful.Any cough syrups for dry cough might also be used after the suggestion of your consultant.Dont worry as there is no fever the cause of infection is ruled out.Check for any dust or any perfume or room freshner causing this problem.Take lukewarm water for drinking. It will subside.Avoid chill abd sweet items.
Best regards...Dr,Srilatha
