Patient's question:
My wife is currently three months pregnant. Recently, she may have a severe cough possibly due to the weather. What should I do if I have a bad cough at three months pregnant? What kind of medication works best?Doctor's answer:

The doctor will prescribe cold medicine suitable for pregnant women based on your condition and awareness of your pregnancy. At the same time, it is also important to rest appropriately, drink more hot fluids, and pay attention to a light diet. Diligently observe your condition.
