Im 6 months pregnant and this cough is not leaving me since a week, at night its the worst and i cant sleep properly. Scared to take any random syrup on my own. Will check with my gynac but meanwhile what safe home things helped you all?
Severe cough is not something to self treat in pregnancy, please dont pick any syrup off the shelf. I had a bad one and my gynac prescribed what was safe for me. Call your doc, a severe cough sometimes needs proper checking.
For mild throat irritation warm water with honey, steam and rest used to soothe me. But if its severe, beta, home things are not enough, you must see the doctor. Dont take any medicine on your own during these months.
Steam, warm fluids and rest help for a normal cough. But severe means doctor, full stop. Never take a cough syrup without your gynac approving it, many arent safe in pregnancy.
At home we do warm turmeric water and steam for a small cough, it helps the throat. But if its severe or not settling, please go to your gynac, no home remedy replaces that. Take care and rest well da.
