Hi.
Thanks for choosing HCM.
Please note that during pregnancy, some women do get GERD, causing incessant cough requiring PPIs.
It may also be allergic cough which may need a short course of inhaled corticosteroids.
In India we also try to rule out Tuberculosis.
Contact your doctor for further advice.
