If a pregnant woman is about to give birth and has a severe cough, it may be caused directly by a cold, and the treatment is the same as for other colds. If a pregnant woman has a severe cough, remember not to take medicine indiscriminately because some herbal and western medicines for coughs may affect the fetus to some extent. However, some pregnant women may have a cough due to their own weak constitution and must focus on relieving the cough to nourish the yin and moisten the lungs. Some folk remedies are also advisable, such as pear stew with rock sugar and pear stew with Sichuan scallop.
