How to get rid of cough and cold during pregnancy?
Caught a bad cold and the cough is not letting me sleep at night. Im scared to take anything on my own without asking my gynac. Any safe home remedies that worked for you?
Beta for mild cold I used to take warm water with a little honey and tulsi, and steam inhalation helped a lot. Gargle with warm salt water for the throat. But dont take any cough syrup or tablet on your own, ask the doctor first.
Home remedies are okay for a small cold, but if you get fever, breathlessness or it lasts many days, please see your gynac. I never took any medicine without asking during pregnancy. Better safe than sorry with anything that affects baby.
My amma made me ginger tulsi kashayam and lots of warm fluids, it was so soothing. Rest and warm soups also help the body fight it. For anything stronger I always checked with my doctor first.
