Im in my 2nd trimester and have been coughing badly since 3-4 days, throat is so sore. Scared to take anything without asking gynac. What do u all do for cough naturally at home? Pls share.
Honestly, hot tomato soup with black pepper was my ultimate savior when I had a cough! It satisfies the tongue and soothes the throat too. Avoid cold things for a few days, focus on hot yummy broths.
When I had a bad cough in my second trimester, I only did steam inhalation and drank warm milk with turmeric. I didn't want to take any tablets without asking my doctor. It took 3-4 days but got cured naturally.
Have warm water with a little honey and keep chanting or listening to some peaceful bhajans to calm your mind. Coughing can be tiring, but stay positive, this phase will pass beautifully. Take care of yourself.
Please don't take any random cough medicines, especially during pregnancy as everything affects the baby. Since I had thyroid issues, I was super careful and always took my doctor's advice even for minor coughs. Better to get a quick checkup done.
Beta, garm pani me thoda sa adrak aur tulsi ubal kar piyo, bahut aaram milega. Apne gale ko thand se bachao aur dhyan rakho. Agar jyada takleef ho toh turant doctor didi ko dikhana.
I used to carry a small thermos of warm water to the office and did steam inhalation right after getting home. It doesn't take much time but gives instant relief. Don't self-medicate with syrups, just ask your gynac quickly.
