	Answer by Dr. Rajgopal, MBBS (doctor) on Sat 01, Aug 2009 08:13pm: Hi, You are right , taking cough suppressants is not safe during pregnancy . Please try to take lots of hot liquids , fluids , soups . This will help relieve the cough . Steam inhalation works wonders . You can also go for Betadine gargles with warm water . It soothes the throat and reduces cough and throat pain . Please consult your physician and gynaecologist if the symptoms persist and taking medicines becomes absolutely necessary . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards ! Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
