What to do if you have a cough with phlegm at 38 weeks of pregnancy

If you have a cough with phlegm at 38 weeks of pregnancy, you can drink more water, which is good for the dilution of phlegm and can promote the discharge of phlegm. It is important to eat a light diet with less spicy, stimulating and greasy food, and avoid fish, shrimp and seafood to avoid producing phlegm and fire, which can cause fever and aggravate the disease.

You can also take oral Chinese medicines such as Lung Power Cough Compound and Orange Shell Compound to relieve cough and dissolve phlegm. If the cough is severe and accompanied by fever, it is recommended to visit the obstetrics and gynecology department and choose medications that do not affect the fetus or the pregnant woman.
