If the cough lasts for more then three days she needs to speak with her doctor.

When pregnant one should always talk with a doctor or pharmacist. They are the best to help you and provide you with the right medication.

I think it's ginger tea that is recommended, never heard of a garlic tea.
Also try a humdifier in ur room, sleep a little propped up (it might be post nasal drip causing the cough),
or a lot of times esp. in pregnancy could be acid reflux irritating throat and causing a cough. Try tums waghaira
if that is the case. I wouldn't recommend an H2 blocker or a PPI unless absolutely necessary.
In some instances post virally, the airways become hyper reactive and in those cases inhalers might help.
