Coughing in pregnancy may be caused by upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis, pneumonia, etc. Usually, it can be improved by general treatment and medication as prescribed by the doctor.
1. Upper respiratory tract infection: due to the decreased resistance of the respiratory tract during pregnancy, the influence of the surrounding environment may trigger the symptoms of coughing badly. If necessary, you can take oral amoxicillin capsules, cefixime granules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
2. Pharyngitis: Pharyngitis occurs due to changes in hormone levels and decreased resistance after pregnancy, which may result in a bad cough. Usually, the symptoms can be relieved by drinking more water, resting more and eating a light diet.
3. Pneumonia: Pneumonia may occur due to bacterial infection during pregnancy, resulting in a bad cough. If necessary, you can use medication under the guidance of a doctor, such as azithromycin, cefuroxime tablets and other antibiotics to relieve symptoms.
If the cause of coughing badly in pregnancy is not yet clear or the symptoms have not improved for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and treat the symptoms.
