Hello dear,I understand your concern.I my opinion the dry cough might not be due to infection.It is mostly due to allergy.If the cough is associated with altered sputum it suggest infection.Avoid chilled items and continue taking hot fluids.Warm salt water gargling might be helpful.Cough suppressants can be taken.Dry cough might not affect the fetus.Nothing to worry.
Best regards.....Dr.Srilatha.
