Treatment of cough in pregnant women

What is the cure for pregnancy during early and late periods?

Cough, as one of the symptoms of colds, causes discomfort to any person, and what to say about pregnant women.

It can happen on any day of long-awaited pregnancy - the immunity in these 9 months is significantly weakened, hypothermia or the slightest contact with a sick person, which may seem healthy in appearance, easily leads to cold, acute respiratory infections.

It is important to understand that coughing is not a disease, but a symptom of a variety of diseases and is a reflex reaction of the organism, which facilitates the release of the respiratory tract from the pathological bronchial secret. That is, one should not cure a cough, but a disease that caused it. Sometimes, coughing can be a consequence of an allergic reaction of the body to any external stimulus (see. allergic cough: symptoms, treatment).

Treatment of cough during pregnancy is a serious problem, since most effective combined antitussive drugs or expectorants for cough, including plant, is prohibited pregnant. And not infrequently pregnant women with caution perceive the appointment of even approved medications, fearing to harm the baby, and using cough medicine from traditional medicine. But you should know that some medicinal plants are also contraindicated and have side effects, not less than medicamentous.

Another wrong way is to use children's syrup from cough during pregnancy and other medications used for cough treatment in infants up to 3 years of age, since the approved cough for children can not always be safe for the fetus. Every future mother should know that cough should be treated, and treated according to the doctor's recommendations.

What is dangerous cough?

Since cough, as a rule, accompanies a viral or bacterial disease of the respiratory system, the lack of adequate treatment is dangerous both for the mother (complications, the transition of the disease in a chronic form), and for the child, as it creates a real threat to pregnancy - the risk of intrauterine infection, premature birth or miscarriage, malformations of the fetus.

Cough itself, as a reflex action, leads to an increase in the tone of the uterus - a dangerous condition that does not abort pregnancy and fetal hypoxia. Women with low placenta or with placenta previa cough due to significant muscular strain threatens with uterine bleeding.

A severe cough during pregnancy causes an attack of nausea and aggravates the course of toxicosis, if any (see. nausea in pregnancy, gestosis during pregnancy).

1 trimester of pregnancy - what drugs to cure cough?

The first 2 months of fetal gestation are the most important, since it is during this period that the main formation of systems and organs, and a small fertilized egg acquires real human features, as parents are convinced at the first screening.

The most serious pathologies and malformations of the fetus occur precisely in the first trimester, and to provoke them, including, the reception of a contraindicated drug.

It is advisable not to get sick in the first weeks, but if this happens, you should immediately visit a doctor - it's the doctor will determine the cause of the cough, hold the necessary examinations and recommend how and what to cure when pregnancy.

Initially, the doctor will be appointed sparing methods of fighting cough, and only then drugs, albeit relatively safe. The word is relatively well-used - an individual negative reaction to the active substances of the drugs is not ruled out.

Some future mothers use so-called cough drops, which are freely sold in supermarkets. To say that they will be of great benefit is wrong. Most often these sweets are saturated with extracts of mint and eucalyptus, along with preservatives, sweeteners and aromatizers, and the relief is very short, which forces the lozenges to dissolve one by one one.

The table shows cough preparations, the use of which is acceptable in pregnancy in the first trimester (see Table 1). a calculator for calculating the length of gestation by weeks).

In the second and third trimesters, the formation and maturation of all organs and systems of the fetus takes place.

Therefore, the 2 trimester, as well as 3, is undesirable to be aggravated by taking medications, but in comparison with 1 term, restrictions are not so strict, if necessary, preparations of synthetic origin.

How is cough in pregnant women treated?

Treatment of cough pregnant should be done with caution.Not always a person is able to notice the appearance of a cough. People believe that the human body has already adapted to all possible contaminants in the atmosphere, so periodic cough is called a normal phenomenon. But this opinion is wrong.

Cough is one of the protective reactions of the human body. It helps cleanse the airways of various kinds of incoming dust and all kinds of particles. Cough is able to appear at the reflex level. In other words, this nervous system responds so much to irritation of bronchial mucosa or trachea and larynx.

Causes of a cough

There are cases in which the occurrence of cough is absolutely not associated with certain lesions of the human respiratory system.

For example, with heart disease, you can easily observe a wet cough. When taking certain medicines for hypertension, you can freely observe a dry cough.

Often a cough can occur with respiratory diseases, namely:

• bronchitis of any kind;
• pneumonia;
• influenza, ARVI;
• the so-called disease of smokers;
• various allergic diseases.

What are the characteristics of curing for pregnant women?

Whatever disease occurs during pregnancy, it should be treated immediately. It is difficult to determine how even a common cold can appear on a baby's health, and it's scary to think about more complex diseases. It often happens that a woman does not notice that she is ill. A small cough is habitually perceived as a normal phenomenon. This is especially common in women who have had colds throughout their life. In this case, the pregnant woman does not immediately seek help from a doctor, which, naturally, delays the treatment process.

Do not forget that various infectious diseases that can be accompanied by a cough very often contribute to complicating pregnancy.

This is what jeopardizes the life and health of the baby. In this case, the treatment of a pregnant woman must be carried out only by an experienced specialist, able to give a correct and accurate assessment of the relationship that arises between the harm and benefit of a given drug.

The danger for a pregnant woman can be not only a disease, but also his methods of treatment. Therefore, the treatment of cough in pregnant women has certain limitations. Drugs during pregnancy should be selected with the utmost care.

At the time of the course of pregnancy, most medications are contraindicated. This, of course, only if, in the opinion of experts, they can harm the health of both the mother and the baby. You have to be very careful. You do not need to choose for yourself medicines. This can be regretted.

What can be prescribed for pregnant women with drug treatment?

Many are accustomed to trusting public opinion and advertising. So, long enough it was believed that destrametorfan is not contraindicated in women during pregnancy. Today it became known that this drug has a negative effect on the fetus. Remember that cough should be treated, and not just "muffled".

There are three main groups of drugs that are used to treat cough:

• expectorant;
• drugs that promote liquefaction of sputum (mucaltin);
• antitussive drugs that muffle the cough.

The drugs of the third group include destramethorphan, codeine and many others. Now we should conclude that such drugs during pregnancy are strictly prohibited.

Mucolytics affect sputum, making it less viscous at the same time. All kinds of expectorant drugs complete the effect, while facilitating the release of sputum. After taking such medications, the cough becomes more mild.

Such drugs also should not be taken during pregnancy. The fact is that there are very few facts about how such drugs affect the fetus. So it's better not to take chances. It is necessary to stop the choice only on those medicines which are completely safe for pregnant women and the future kid. Drugs that have no effect on pregnant women are very few.

Do not forget that if the instructions do not say anything about using during pregnancy, then it's best to stop taking this medication. Do not be afraid to spend your precious time and seek help from a specialist. Only he will be able to prescribe the necessary drug.

It is also necessary to know what medicines can be prescribed by a doctor during pregnancy. These drugs are quite effective and completely harmless. In addition, they are in any pharmacy in the public domain. Most often prescribed drugs such as:

• bromohexine;
• tussine;
• gedelix.

Such drugs are sold in pharmacies in the form of syrups. Producers of these drugs conducted special studies that prove: they are completely safe for pregnant women and their future children.

Treatment of cough during pregnancy at home

How to cure a cough? It should be noted that it is strictly forbidden to put cans and mustard plasters on a pregnant woman.

The best, effective and safe cure for cough during pregnancy are inhalations. In this case, it will be enough to simply inhale the couples of the broth of various kinds of herbs.

You can make a simple decoction, which consists of St. John's wort, sage or chamomile. These plants are not contraindicated during the period of pregnancy. Therefore, it is possible to carry out inhalations, which include exactly these herbs. This procedure does not take too long (10-15 minutes).

A sufficiently positive effect can rinse with a decoction of chamomile. Of course, during pregnancy, the regime is very important. Try not to spend much time in the cold air. Also it is necessary to save yourself from stress and various kinds of overwork. This will help the body fight infection.

Cough should be started to be treated as quickly as possible to avoid various kinds of complications.
Be healthy!

Cough during pregnancy

It is very difficult to resist viral infections, especially when the "cold season" begins. Pregnant women, due to weakened immunity, are twice heavier. Cough during pregnancy is one of the signs of a cold. The cough can be dry or wet. But the main problem of coughing in pregnant women is that it is very difficult to treat it, because during this period, drug treatment is contraindicated because of possible harm to the fetus.

But to cure a cough during pregnancy is necessary, first of all, because with weakened immunity the usual cough can develop into bronchitis, viral tracheitis, pneumonia, etc., and in this case it can not be done without medicines.

Any disease, even the most insignificant, has a significant burden on immunity. In the blood, antibodies are produced that help the body cope with viruses. As a rule, only the maternal antibodies can penetrate the placenta, but if there is placental insufficiency, the infection can penetrate the child, which can cause anomalies at birth. That is why cough treatment should be started immediately, to minimize the risk of possible complications to a minimum.

Special caution should be shown to women who had a threat of miscarriage. When coughing, the pressure on the abdominal cavity rises, which can cause the tone of the uterus. Hypertension of the uterus can provoke not only miscarriage, but intrauterine hypoxia of the fetus (lack of oxygen) due to spasms of the vessels of the uterus.

Coughing is a kind of defensive reaction of the body, it arises when the receptors are irritated, which leads to the withdrawal of phlegm from the respiratory tract. As part of phlegm, there are pathological bacteria that, if left in the bronchi for a long time, lead to pneumonia. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to find out the type of cough (wet, dry) and the cause of its appearance. With dry cough (unproductive), sputum is not secreted or is released in small amounts. For a cough to take the form of a productive (wet), it is necessary to form a mucus. For this, special antitussive drugs are usually used. But pregnant women are not allowed to take any medicines. But a dry cough during pregnancy can cause significant discomfort (persistent swelling, loss of voice, attacks of night cough) that the benefits of using an antitussive drug exceed the possible risks for the mother and child.

Absolutely harmless medicines do not exist, all drugs can cause an allergic reaction or some other side effect, especially in pregnant women. In this regard, it is not recommended for a long time to take medications, if there is no improvement in a few days, it is better to repeatedly consult a doctor. It is often possible to do without taking any medications and cure a cough with the help of effective traditional medicine.

Causes of coughing during pregnancy

There are several reasons for coughing, among them various viral diseases (whooping cough, measles, tuberculosis, sinusitis, etc.), allergies, acute respiratory infections, smoking. Cough during pregnancy usually occurs against the background of ARI, often with a cough, a woman suffers from a runny nose, fever, weakness and other manifestations of a cold. In the case of dry cough, you can not wait for it until it goes into the wet one, for several reasons. First of all, with a dry cough, the abdominal cavity is under constant pressure, it interferes with full rest at night. Therefore, to treat, or rather to calm the dry cough should be without delay.

One of the most common causes of cough is chronic or acute inflammation in the upper and lower respiratory tract. If a cough appears on the background of the cold, the cause may be a runoff of mucus on the back of the nasopharynx, which leads to irritation of the mucosa and, consequently, to a coughing fit. With inflammation of the throat (pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis) cough appears as a reaction to the inflammatory process.

Inflammation of the bronchi, lung tissue (bronchitis, pneumonia) leads to the appearance of cough due to the accumulation of sputum in the lower respiratory tract in large numbers. Allergic diseases can also provoke a cough, this reason is also widespread among pregnant women. Allergic cough is caused by obstructive bronchitis, bronchial asthma, allergic tracheitis. Much less often a cough occurs against the background of neurotic reactions of the body, diseases of the ear passage, stomach, diaphragm, cardiovascular system, thyroid gland.

Symptoms of coughing during pregnancy

Cough during pregnancy occurs for a variety of reasons, but many are mistaken, suggesting that cough only develops on the background of respiratory or lung diseases. Cough can talk about heart failure, oncological disease, tuberculosis. With such conditions, a long-lasting cough is usually a concern.

Cough against a background of a viral infection, for example, with the flu, at the beginning of the first days has an unproductive nature, and then there is mucus, possibly with purulent impurities. The person has chest pains, cough accompanied by temperature, weakness, headache.

If the cause of the cough was bronchitis, then it has a productive character from the very beginning of its appearance. A sharp and violent cough is the main symptom of bronchitis, which is a complication of a cold. With bronchitis, the temperature rises slightly, there is weakness, lethargy. If the bronchitis flows into a chronic form, then the cough is deaf, with sputum, sometimes with impurities of pus, in the future the sputum gets a brownish tinge. Coughing attacks are exacerbated in the cold, in stuffy rooms, causing pain in the chest. The temperature can be insignificant, there is a general weakness.

With bronchial asthma, cough has a chronic, very severe character, sometimes it can provoke an attack of suffocation. This cough aggravates at a certain time of the year, usually in the spring or autumn, occurs under the influence of an allergen. As a rule, with bronchial asthma, the mucus is very dense and transparent, is released in a rather small amount.

Pharyngitis, sinusitis, rhinitis in chronic form cause frequent attacks of dry cough. As a rule, cough is worse at night. Possible pain in the forehead, under the eyes.

With diseases of the pleura, there is a dry cough that gives pain in the sternum. Inflammation of the pleura is accompanied by very high fever, shortness of breath, severe pain in the chest. With tuberculosis for the first time, the cough has a mild form, mostly dry, then develops into a heavy wet cough that exhausts the person. It usually intensifies at night, bloody impurities may appear in the mucus. With the disease, the temperature keeps at the level of 37-38 degrees, the person sharply grows thin, he is tormented by profuse sweating, chills. Diseases, as a rule, develops as a result of contact with the patient.

With the disease of whooping cough from the very first days, a very violent cough begins, which often results in vomiting.

Measles is accompanied by a dry, debilitating cough, a rash appears on the skin and mucous membranes, and the temperature rises.

When the cancer process in the lungs appears first dry, and then wet cough with the release of pus. If the cancer is in the bronchi, then the sputum is similar in color to the raspberry jelly.

Heart failure is accompanied by a debilitating dry cough, dyspnea appears, seizures usually occur with tension, aggravated in night time, is very similar to an asthmatic attack, with the only difference is that with heart failure when you get up a cough is terminated. With heart failure, shortness of breath, dizziness, weakness - all these signs tend not to cause suspicion and the disease goes unnoticed.

Moist cough during pregnancy

Wet cough usually appears in the autumn-winter period, during an exacerbation of colds. Cough is a kind of protection of the body for the penetration of viruses, irritation of the mucosa, etc. Wet cough during pregnancy can be provoked both by an ordinary cold, and by more serious diseases - bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, pneumonia.

Physicians call wet cough productive, because it has an effect for the body, namely the excretion of bronchial sputum with the content of viruses. This is a good sign of the body struggling with the disease.

In diseases of the respiratory system, usually there is a moist cough, in the body occurs increase in bronchial secretion, as a result of which sputum production begins with harmful bacteria and viruses. The type of sputum can say about the disease, for example, a clear color indicates bronchial asthma, a rusty hue - about pneumonia.

Wet cough manifests itself as one of the symptoms of various diseases to which respiratory organs are exposed. Often, a wet cough occurs with lung or bronchial disease (influenza, acute bronchitis, acute respiratory disease, tuberculosis).

Dry cough during pregnancy

A dry or unproductive cough, as a rule, causes more suffering. Attacks of dry cough can cause more irritation of the respiratory tract and can provoke even vomiting.

If a dry cough appeared during pregnancy, it could mean that the bronchial tubes can not get rid of the accumulated sputum. The body connects a cough to push the trachea and bronchi to the mucus outlet.

For a long time, an uninterrupted dry cough can signal the inflammation of the lungs, especially if there is a high fever. If the temperature is not raised, but if there is a sensation of perspiration in the cough, severe pain, then in this case there may be sore throat.

Quite often, dry cough develops on the background of viral infections, respiratory diseases. If a cough has acquired a barking sound, then the inflammation of the larynx or vocal cords may have begun. In this case, you need to urgently start treatment, as the inflammation of the larynx can lead to suffocation. A deaf dry cough occurs during cancerous processes in the respiratory tract or tuberculosis. A dry paroxysmal cough, which can break before vomiting, may indicate pertussis or bronchial asthma.

To relieve the condition of a pregnant woman with a dry cough, you need, first of all, to calm him down. To do this, you can use some syrups (but not in the first trimester), which will soothe the mucous membrane and, probably, push the bronchi to the excretion of sputum.

Dry cough can appear for a variety of reasons, but the most common is respiratory disease. Very often cough is accompanied by a runny nose, fever, weakness, poor appetite, sore throat, etc. Wait until the dry cough itself goes into the wet it is impossible for several reasons, primarily because of the tension of the abdominal muscles, which can harm the child, and also a dry cough does not give a full rest at night. All this does not give the pregnant woman time to wait until the body cope with the disease on its own, it is necessary to calm the dry cough as soon as possible.

Calm the dry cough with special medications, they will have a soothing, analgesic effect. When choosing a drug, be sure to read the composition of the drug, it should not contain narcotic substances (morphine, codeine). During pregnancy, preference should be given to those drugs that are recommended by manufacturers to children under the age of three. But in any case, taking any kind of medication is not advisable, especially in the first trimester, it is better to try and calm a dry cough with the help of traditional medicine. In this case, everything depends on the individual characteristics of your body, incl. intolerance of some components. The most simple and effective aid for dry coughing are inhalations. The inhalation of a warm steam (especially boiled in potato tunics) will well soothe and bring long-awaited relief. You can also use a decoction of chamomile, sage, lime blossom, plantain. If you do not have a special inhaler - you can use the method that our grandmothers used - the inhalation of vapors over the pan, covered with a towel. But such procedures are contraindicated at high arterial pressure and temperature.

With a dry cough, the main treatment should be directed to transfer it to wet. As soon as the process of excretion of sputum begins, the bronchi begin to get rid of infection, bacteria and inflamed particles of the bronchi.

Of course, in the beginning you need to get rid of the cause of coughing (allergies, infections, etc.). But any drugs are better taken on the advice of a doctor, depending on the nature of the cough, he will appoint the appropriate (diluting or expectorant) drugs.

Severe cough during pregnancy

A severe exhausting cough during pregnancy causes not only great inconvenience, but also can cause strong painful sensations. When a fit of coughing begins, there is no way to breathe, a woman can not fully rest at night, a cough can be tormented until vomiting occurs. A strong cough during pregnancy occurs for various reasons, as already mentioned, the most frequent is the viral infection of the respiratory tract. Often a cough occurs against the background of the common cold - slime flows down the nasopharynx, which causes irritation of the mucosa and, accordingly, a strong attack of coughing.

Inflammation can begin in the throat, larynx, trachea - all this will cause coughing attacks. If the inflammation struck the tissues of the bronchi or lungs, bronchitis and pneumonia begin, as a result of which a large amount of mucus accumulates in the bronchi, which, together with the infections, is excreted by coughing.

In addition, severe attacks of cough can cause allergic conditions. Rarely there is a cough with diseases of the stomach, thyroid, heart, etc. Apparently, there are plenty of reasons for the appearance of a strong cough, but the main threat to a pregnant woman is the underlying disease, against which a strong cough developed. But the cough itself can not be ignored. With a strong cough, the woman has an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, and this is very dangerous for a woman in position. Tension of the abdominal muscles and high pressure in the abdominal cavity can provoke premature birth, placental abruption, miscarriage. Those. a severe cough during pregnancy is a serious threat, and it is impossible to delay and delay with treatment. Coughing is a natural defense of the body from the ingress of bacteria, viruses, dust, foreign particles into the lungs. When ingested into the bronchi, "unwanted guests" dismount with mucus, and then with a cough are pushed out. A kind of cough acts as a cleaning of the lungs from various contaminants that get there by inhalation. But do not completely rely on your immune system and wait until the body itself cope with the infection, especially the pregnant. First of all, the woman's immunity is in an oppressed state, so she is unable to perform her functions 100%, besides, coughing attacks can lead to unwanted complications of pregnancy.

The cough treatment should be started from the very beginning of the disease, so you can achieve a positive effect in the first few days, not allowing the development of more severe symptoms. A strong cough is dangerous for both the mother and the baby, so in the early stages it is good to To him to struggle with national methods, for example, honey with warm milk - well calms and will remove an attack cough. You can do chest massage with honey (if there is no allergy to honey). A woman should rest more, you need to drink a sufficient amount of liquid (tea with jam, lemon, warm compotes, herbal decoctions, etc.), it is advisable to ventilate the room as often as possible.

Consequences of coughing during pregnancy

Cough in the ordinary state of a person is not dangerous, quite the contrary. When coughing, the bronchi are cleared of accumulated mucus, pus, bacteria, etc. But a cough during pregnancy poses an immediate threat to the baby, and it is necessary to start treatment as soon as possible before.

The consequences of coughing are felt almost immediately by a pregnant woman. A fit of cough provokes a tension in the abdominal wall, as well as the uterus. Frequent, long and regular coughing attacks lead the uterus into a strong tone, which at the beginning of pregnancy can cause a miscarriage, and in later terms - premature birth, but in either case, the life of the mother and child is seriously danger.

But these are not the only consequences that cough can lead to. With hypertension of the uterus, blood circulation deteriorates, as a result the child in the womb of the mother does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients and develops oxygen starvation (hypoxia).

No less serious consequence is placental abruption, high blood pressure, which also leads to negative consequences during pregnancy. A severe dry cough can cause vomiting, which will result in dehydration, weakness, loss of important vitamins and trace elements. In addition to all added nights of inferior sleep. But all these conditions arise with neglected forms of cough, which is highly undesirable.

It is important to remember that cough does not develop on its own, it develops against a background of a certain disease, sometimes extremely difficult. It is necessary to know that absolutely different methods are used to treat dry and wet cough. Future moms any medication should undergo strict medical supervision so as not to harm themselves and the baby.
