My wife is 3 months pregnant. She is having cough since last 5 months. She coughs only at night before going to bed and early morning after waking up and only in our room. We went abroad for a week and she didn't have any cough there. She also went her home in 2 month of pregnancy for 10 days and she didn't have any cough there. It's dry cough. We did 2 times antibiotic course of amoxcilin obviously that was obviously before we got to know she in pregnant. We have a dog at home. But we are married for last 1 year and 7 months and in starting there was no problem and at that time our dog used to sleep in our room at night. Dog is wandering in whole house and there is no cough during day time even when playing with dog. We also slept in another room in our house only for 1 night and that night also there was no cough. Nothing new has been done or added in our room. Please help up. We have seen many docs but no help.

Hi lybrate-user I do not think it has anything to do with the dog. Do you use A/C. Sometimes, the air conditioning can dry the air and cause dry cough. Antibiotics are useless and please do not take anymore. Try keeping a plate of water in the room, to make the air humid, and that should help. The way you describe it, at time of going to bed and waking up, can also mean post nasal drip. That is, saliva and secretions from nose can trickle to throat with change in position and cause cough. Let her drink warm water, and try home remedy like a mix of cinnamon powder and honey, which acts well on dry cough. Hope this helps. Do reply with any doubts.
