Cough caused by physical weakness: Another important reason for cough in pregnant women is that their constitution is relatively yin-deficient, so they will cough after pregnancy, and the coughing symptoms will disappear automatically after the baby is born. In such a situation, you should pay more attention to your daily diet and rely on diet therapy to relieve the symptoms of cough. The diet therapy at this time is different from the diet therapy for a cold, and must focus on relieving cough, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. You can choose some small folk remedies that have been popular among the people for a long time and are very effective. Such as pears stewed with rock sugar, pears stewed with Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs, kumquats stewed with sugar, etc.

3. Cough caused by inflammation: For coughs caused by bronchitis, pharyngitis and respiratory tract infections, drinking a moderate amount of light salt water can be very helpful and can also play a preventive role. Of course, if the condition is serious, you should seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice.
