Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion the cough if it is associated with sputum might need examination to rule out any lung infection.Antibiotics might be needed if there is infection.The repeated cough might lead to throat injury leading to blood in sputum.Cough suppressants can be taken.As you are term there is no risk of harm to the fetus.
