During the 4th-5th month of pregnancy, some antibiotics are considered safe, such as penicillin, amoxicillin, and cephalosporins, but others should be avoided. Cough syrups can be used, but only those approved by your doctor, as some ingredients may not be safe for the baby. For most coughs, home remedies like steam inhalation, warm fluids, honey with water, and saline sprays are preferred. Always consult your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy.
