Caught a bad cough since 2-3 days and it just wont settle, raat ko zyada hota hai. Dont wanna take any medicine on my own. What home things worked for u all?
I had a terrible dry cough when my boy was in my belly. Don't worry, coughing doesn't affect the baby at all as they are super safe inside. Try drinking warm turmeric milk or gargling with salt water, it really calms the throat.
Dealing with a cough can be so exhausting. I used to do gentle breathing exercises and drank warm water to soothe my throat, which helped me stay active. But make sure you get enough rest and don't push yourself if you are feeling weak, let your doctor advise you.
When I got a severe cough in my second trimester, I felt so guilty and scared that the pressure of coughing would hurt my baby! I tried steam inhalation with warm water and drank ginger-honey tea. It gave me so much relief, but if it doesn't go away, please consult your doc.
While home remedies like warm saline gargles and steam are great for temporary relief, please don't take any over-the-counter cough syrups. Many of them contain ingredients that aren't safe during pregnancy. It's best to ask your doctor for a pregnancy-safe prescription.
My mother-in-law made me a warm decoction (kadha) of tulsi, black pepper, and honey when I had a cough. It worked wonders for my throat! Just make sure the kadha is not too strong, and if you have a fever too, visit your gynac immediately.
I had a nasty cough, and my doctor told me to take a specific syrup that was safe for pregnancy. Personally, I relied on steam inhalation three times a day and kept drinking warm water. Please check with your doctor before taking any medicine.
