How to get rid of mucus in chest during pregnancy?
caught a cold and now theres so much congestion in my chest, feels heavy. im 22 weeks and dont want to take random things. what helped u clear it safely?
Beta for mild congestion, warm water sips, steam inhalation and a little haldi milk usually give comfort. Keep yourself warm and rest. But if you have fever, breathing trouble or it is not settling, please go to the doctor, dont take any cough syrup on your own.
When I had this my gynac suggested steam inhalation, warm fluids and staying hydrated, which helped loosen it. She was clear about not taking any cough medicine without asking her. She also said if there is fever or breathlessness, come in to get checked.
Take steam ma, sip warm water and rest properly, it eases the chest. My mother always gave warm turmeric milk for this. But if you feel breathless or feverish, dont wait, go to your doctor.
Gentle natural things like steam, warm soups and honey in warm water (if your doctor is okay with honey) helped me. Keep hydrated and rest. But for anything serious like high fever or trouble breathing, please see the gynac, dont rely on home tips for that.
Steam and warm liquids are your best friends here. Drink plenty of warm water, do steam twice a day and rest. Dont pop any random cough syrup though, ask your doctor before any medicine. If fever comes along, get it checked.
