Dry cough: If you wish to suppress a dry hacking cough, the usual remedy is a cough suppressant syrup like robitussinDM. However I feel that all medications,including nonprescription ones, for pregnant women should be ok'd by their obstetrician.

Agree with Dr. C: If the cough is originating in your throat and not the chest, you may be able to get by oral lozenges, rather than a systemically acting drug. Any of the cough drops may be helpful,
