Hi Sourav,.In pregnancy medication should be avoided as far as possible, especially in the early pregnancy when the chance of causing harm to the baby inside your womb is very high.Common cold is caused by Virus, and does not require any treatment. It will go off by itself. Cough is not welcome in pregnancy as it causes increased intra-abdominal pressure, so you may take some cough syrup under direction of your obstetrician, to get some relief from cough.Don't forget to cover your mouth when coughing, otherwise it will spread to all the members of your household.
