Can I take cough syrup during the second trimester of pregnancy?

Which type of cough are you having? For dry and phlegmy cough, you can try dextromethorphan or pholcodine. Avoid any syrups containing codeine (e.g., Dhasedyl, Procodin). For wet cough, herbal cough syrups and Woods cough syrup safe for pregnancy, Robitussin should be fine. But, do consult a doctor before taking any medications. Also, drink plenty of fluids, have more fruits and lots of rest so that your body could recover. Take care!
