Cough in pregnant women: what medications will help

The body of pregnant women becomes more sensitive, because he has to spend his immunity not only on himself, but also on the future child. It is more prone to allergic reaction, to the effects of viruses and bacteria. For this reason, pregnant women often have a cough, which is a symptom of a disease or allergy. Treatment of a cough is simply necessary, because it can carry negative consequences. However, this treatment should be correct, because not all cough remedies can be used while the child is waiting.

Cough during pregnancy: what is it

Cough is a reflex response to irritation of respiratory organs. If there was a cough, it means something in the body is unsuccessful, and you just need to contact the doctor about this. Usually we perceive cough as a symptom of colds, but this is not the only cause of coughing in pregnant women.

Causes

• ARI or ARVI; and what to do, when the cough does not pass after ARVI, is indicated in this article.
• Bronchitis;
• Pneumonia;
• ENT diseases;
• Cardiovascular diseases;
• Allergy; what is the treatment of the allergy of nasal congestion with folk remedies indicated in this article.
• Gastrointestinal disorders;
• Stress;
• Smoking. From this article, you can find out whether smoking is possible during a sore throat

It is very important to determine the cause, because it will depend on the treatment.

Types and features of the disease

It is customary to distinguish two types of cough: dry and wet. When dry, there is no separation of sputum from the respiratory system.If it is caused by viruses or bacteria, this kind of cough can be more dangerous, as pathogens and products of their vital functions are not removed from the bronchi and lungs.Dry cough usually occurs at the onset of the disease. Gradually, he goes into the wet, at which the woman can clear her throat, and with sputum the body gets rid of pathogens.

If the cough remains dry for a long time, and its character does not change, then, perhaps, it is allergic. In this case, treatment should be completely different.

Especially dangerous are coughing attacks, which can develop with certain diseases. Paroxysmal cough causes a significant tension in the muscles of the abdomen, spasms of the musculature of the uterus, which is unsafe for the unborn child.

Pregnancy is usually divided into trimesters, each has its own characteristics. Cough and its treatment during pregnancy also have features depending on the period.

First trimester

During this period immunity is especially reduced, at the same time, the development of the basic organs and systems of the future baby is taking place. This is a very important and dangerous period.It is in the first trimester that a woman is most susceptible to developing colds and infectious diseases.These can be diseases of the ENT organs, pneumonia, bronchitis. It is not unusual for cases of allergy during this period of pregnancy. All this causes a cough.

So, in the first trimester a pregnant woman is trapped by a triple danger:

• At first, the diseases themselves threaten the normal development of the fetus.
• Secondly, such a symptom as a cough, is dangerous by overstrain of muscles and increased tone of the uterus.
• Thirdly, during this period it is extremely dangerous for the fetus to use a lot of drugs.

Chamomile turn, sage - popular folk remedies that can be used in the first trimester. However, before using it is better to consult your doctor

In the first trimester of pregnancy, no potent drugs can be taken.Treatment should be gentle. It can be inhalation of herbal decoctions or essential oils and taking these broths inside, compresses and wraps and other recipes from cough at home. The choice of herbs should only be done by a doctor, since he can take into account their side effects and contraindications.

Most often in the first trimester, chamomile, sequin, sage is used. Of essential oils - mint, eucalyptus. For the compress it is good to use cabbage leaves, smeared with honey.

Second trimester

It means 12-24 weeks gestation. This period is calmer for a woman. Her body has already adapted to a new state, so immunity becomes higher, and the risk of colds and infections decreases.However, stress, GI disease, heart, allergic reactions can still cause a cough.

The future child is already a little stronger: his organs have already formed and only continue to develop, in addition, the fetus is already under the protection of the placenta. Therefore, viral infections are no longer so scary, and during this period, a wider range of remedies can be used for treatment.

The most dangerous in the second trimester are 14 and 16-17 weeks. Cough during this period can lead to impaired fetal nutrition and oxygen hunger.

Hazards of the second trimester:

• Fetoplacental insufficiency,
• The risk of premature birth,
• Wrong formation of the nervous system and bone tissue.

All these dangers can be provoked by an ordinary cough, if it is not treated or does it wrong.

Third trimester

The last trimester of pregnancy is the least dangerous for the fetus in terms of disease and the effects of drugs. The placenta is already aging and becoming less permeable to both pathogens and medicines.However, the diseases of the mother speed up the aging of the placenta, and therefore worsen the nutrition of the fetus in the last weeks of development.Coughing is a symptom. Most often in the third trimester, its cause is a cold. Treatment during this period is individual, as it is necessary to take into account a multitude of factors of the woman's condition, the fetus and the course of the previous weeks of pregnancy.

Treatment of cough

The most important thing in treating pregnant women is not to harm the fetus. Self-medication is unacceptable.

Strongly contraindicated many drugs. This prohibition is especially strict in the early stages, it is based on the fact that these drugs can cause severe flogging in the development of the child. Also, not all the treatment procedures that are customarily prescribed for the treatment of various diseases are suitable for pregnant women.

What can not be pregnant

• Antibiotics;
• Such cough remedies as Linkas, Codelac, ACC, Bronholitin, Pertussin;
• Inhalation at high temperature;
• Mustards;
• Hot foot baths;
• Physiotherapy.

Tablets and lozenges

Any cough medicine for a pregnant woman is selected with a view of the minimum risk for the unborn child.

From solid dosage forms are tablets, lozenges and lozenges. One of the most common means for coughing during pregnancy is Mukaltin (an extract of an althaea). In addition, you can use extracts of other herbs, produced in the form of tablets.

For pregnant women, extracts of mother-and-stepmother, plantain are considered effective and at the same time relatively safe.

Tablets from a cough with a medicinal plant Thermopsis can also be used for pregnant women

This plant has a good expectorant effect.The composition of the tablets also includes sodium bicarbonate, which dilutes sputum.However, you need to take these pills with caution and taking into account individual characteristics, because large doses of thermopsis can provoke miscarriage.

Consequences and complications

The usual cough, which seems quite harmless, can lead to complications - miscarriage, premature birth

Danger can be both the cough itself and the disease that caused it. An ordinary cold without proper treatment can lead to complications such as bronchitis or pneumonia that require serious treatment.

Cough, especially severe paroxysmal, causes tension in the muscles of the abdomen and uterus, which may serve to increase its tone and increase the risk of miscarriage.

Also, the tension on coughing can provoke a detachment of the placenta. It threatens with premature birth and hormonal failure.
