Does Pregnancy Make Allergic Congestion And Coughing Worse?

I am about 18 weeks pregnant, I have been suffering from what I think are allergy symptoms. I had the same thing a few weeks ago and it ended up being bronchitis. Does pregnancy make congestion and coughing worse? I never usually get sick and I have had more problems in the last few months than I have had in years.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Pregnancy can affect your immune system so it is possible that it is predisposing you to more infections.

You may want to use more disinfectant techniques to avoid contracting colds or other infections.
This means frequent handwashing and use of sanitizers.

I hope this helps
