Hello dear,,I understand your concern.In my opinion low liquor at 36 weeks might not be dangerous.It can be due to dehydration also.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day.Also get examined by your doctor to rule out any placental insufficiency.If any untoward things are found the delivery can be planned immediately.As you have prolonged cough and also taken antiboitics kindly get complete blood counts done to rule out any infection.Prolonged infections might leaf to preterm labour .But as you are 36 weeks already nothing to worry.Fetal movements need to be checked as they might get decreased in cases of low liquor.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
