Can Dry Cough And Lump Sensation In Throat Be A Threat During Pregnancy?

I am 20 week pregnant, coughing much it feels dry, something stuck at my throat. It started yesterday morning. Air pollution is so bad here in Mongolia. I think that is the reason.

I am afraid of using medicine since i read it can harm my baby growing inside, but coughing is too.

I guess coughing is worse in the night.

What do u reccomend for me?

Hi,
Having some medicine at this stage of pregnancy is safe for baby.
Having severe coughing during this time is also not good as well.
Take some cough syrup and antibiotic after consulting your Obst.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Go for deep breathing exercise.
Ok and take care.
