I've caught a cough and cold, and it's making me miserable. Since I'm pregnant, I can't take just any medicine. How can I safely control my cough and cold during pregnancy with home remedies or other methods?
Having a severe cough can put a lot of pressure on your tummy, which made me very nervous during my pregnancy. Please don't take any random home remedies if the cough is very heavy. Get checked by your gynac to ensure it's not a chest infection.
I usually do light prenatal yoga to keep my immunity up, but during a cold, I just rest. Keep yourself hydrated with warm water and herbal teas. Don't push your body with any exercise or walks until you feel fully recovered.
I totally understand how exhausting it is when you can't even breathe properly and have a baby inside. Please take care of yourself, dear. Sip some warm soups, put a warm cloth on your forehead, and get lots of rest.
When I got a bad cold, I immediately called my hospital care team. They strictly told me not to take any OTC cough syrups. They suggested steam and gave me a safe pregnancy-friendly prescription. Better call your gynac's assistant to ask what's safe.
Oh no, pregnancy cold is the worst, but don't stress too much, sweetie. Just drink warm water, take steam twice a day, and wrap yourself in a blanket. It will pass in a few days, just let your body rest.
Cold in pregnancy is so troublesome ho na. You can try taking warm water with a little honey and ginger juice, it gives so much relief. Bas try to rest as much as possible and keep your chest warm.
I am in my second trimester and going through the exact same thing right now, it is so irritating! I am just doing warm water gargles and steam inhalation. Are u also finding it hard to sleep because of the blocked nose?
Don't run after medicines for a simple cold. Take steam inhalation with a drop of eucalyptus oil, and drink warm ginger-tulsi water. If you get a high fever, then only contact your doctor immediately, otherwise home remedies work best.
