Since 4-5 days i have this dry khaasi that just wont go and at night it gets so bad i cant sleep. Im in 5th month. I dont want to take random medicine so what home things actually help u all?
I panicked thinking my dry cough would harm the baby, but my gynac said the baby is well-cushioned inside! Just take steam and drink warm fluids, you'll be perfectly fine.
Dry cough can put pressure on your lower abdomen, so please consult your gynac. Do not take any over-the-counter cough syrups without asking them first.
Steam inhalation is the safest way to control cough. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to avoid honey and sweet cough drops, so keep that in mind and check with your doc.
I had a bad cough in my second trimester, but warm turmeric milk really helped. I managed naturally and had a smooth normal delivery, so don't worry, just stay hydrated.
Actually, warm ginger-honey tea is super soothing for a dry cough and tastes amazing too! But if it's too severe, please check with your gynac before taking any medicine.
