Can pregnancy cause coughing?

  Pregnancy itself does not cause coughing, but some pregnant women have significant gastrointestinal symptoms after pregnancy, which may also be combined with gastroesophageal reflux. Although gastroesophageal reflux is a digestive disorder, it often causes coughing and is known as gastroesophageal reflux cough. GERD cough is one of the common causes of chronic cough and one of the common reasons for outpatient visits to respiratory medicine clinics.  Gastroesophageal reflux cough can be treated with oral medications such as pantoprazole and morbutine, but pregnant women taking the above mentioned medications orally may have certain effects on the fetus. If the symptoms are not severe, you can give dietary treatments such as eating a little soda crackers and drinking soda water, which will help with the above mentioned symptoms. If the symptoms of cough are heavy, you can also give gastric mucosal protective agents, which are usually not absorbed and have less impact on the fetus, such as oral aluminum thioglycollate for treatment.
