During your eighth month of pregnancy, it is best to avoid Ascoril Syrup unless it is specifically prescribed by your obstetrician. Some of its active ingredients may not be suitable during the third trimester. For your dry cough and throat irritation, simple non-medicated throat lozenges (such as honey or glycerin-based ones) are generally safe to use. Medicated lozenges should be avoided unless approved by your doctor. To help soothe your throat safely, try warm steam inhalation, drinking warm water with honey, and staying well-hydrated. Please consult your OB-GYN before taking any new medications to ensure the safety of both you and your baby.
