I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy and have developed a bad cough. It's getting very uncomfortable, and I need to know how to safely cure it without harming the baby.
I've heard that taking steam with a drop of eucalyptus oil can clear the throat naturally. Since you are so close to your due date, maybe safe home remedies are best, but do check with your doctor first to be safe.
Oh sweetie, I totally understand how exhausting it must be to deal with a bad cough in your 9th month when your belly is already so heavy! Please take steam and drink warm liquids to soothe your chest. Please check with your gynac right away so you can rest comfortably before the baby arrives.
Didi, garm paani me thoda sa namak daal kar kulla karo aur tulsi-adrak ka kadha piyo. Isse gale ko bohot aaram milega. Par abhi aakhri mahina hai toh doctor ko ek baar batana zaroori hai.
Beta, don't panic. For immediate relief, try drinking warm water with a little honey and ginger juice, and take steam twice a day. But since you are in your 9th month, please let your doctor know so they can check you.
A cough in the 9th month can be very tiring and puts pressure on your belly, which is scary. I had a similar scare and avoided self-medicating completely. Please call your gynac to ask for a safe cough syrup before taking anything.
