Cough for 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).
