How to Relieve Coughing During Pregnancy

Pregnant women with coughs should consume lung-moistening and throat-soothing foods, such as stewed pear with rock sugar, to alleviate symptoms. Drinking plenty of warm water can also help relieve coughing. If the cough is caused by a wind-cold common cold, consuming hot ginger-and-brown-sugar tea may help expel cold from the body and promote recovery. During pregnancy, women’s immune resistance tends to be lower; therefore, they should pay special attention to keeping warm and consume more vitamin-rich foods.
