After getting pregnant, I have been coughing all the time. Coughing caused by chronic pharyngitis may affect the fetus.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The first three months of pregnancy are a critical period for fetal development. Infections in the mother can affect the fetus, so prompt treatment is necessary.
Recommendation: Seek treatment at the maternity department of a hospital. Undergo a blood test. If the white blood cell count is high, take penicillin-class antibiotics and cough medicine.
