Caught a bad cold and the cough is not letting me sleep at all, im 22 weeks. Dont want to take random medicines without asking my doc. What safe home remedies did you ladies try that actually helped?
I know how miserable a cold feels on top of everything else. Honestly rest, warm soup and steam got me through. I avoided all tablets and just called my doctor when it lingered. Hang in there.
Home stuff like steam, warm fluids and rest is fine for a mild cold. But if you get fever, breathlessness or it drags on, call your doctor quickly. During pregnancy i never ignored these things.
At home we did warm turmeric water and steam, that comforted me a lot. My mother swears by it. But if there is fever or it stays many days, please ring your gynac, dont wait.
Steam inhalation and lots of warm fluids helped me most. Gargle with warm salt water for the throat. No medicines without your gynac though, even simple ones, pls check first.
Beta warm water, steam and a little honey with ginger in warm water soothes the throat nicely. Rest well and stay warm. But dont take any cold medicine on your own, ask doctor for that.
