Dry cough and pregnancy
My wife is in her 18th week of pregnant, and has a dry cough running. We have visited 2 doctors with one being an internal medicine expert and the other a pulmonologist but there is no improvement.
The cough is very heavy in mornings and evenings during the sunset time.
Nebulization is being done 2 times a day with Foracort 0.5 mg repsules.
Yesterday night she was coughing almost the whole night. Looking for some help with the problem.

Levosalbutamol & chlorpheniramine Cough syrups are contraindicated in pregnancy. I would suggest u natural cough syrup like honitus cough syrup 1 tsp twice daily for 2 wks.
