Dry cough is keeping me awake at night and my belly hurts when I cough too much. I am avoiding random syrups because I am pregnant. What home things or doctor-approved options helped you?
My mother always gave me warm turmeric milk and tulsi water for cough, it really soothes the throat. Steam inhalation also helps na. For any medicine though, do check with your doctor, I never took syrup on my own.
Garam paani peeti raho beta aur raat ko bhaap le lo, gala thoda khulega. Shahad bhi accha rehta hai. Bahut zaada ho jaye toh apne doctor ke paas chali jaana.
Honey in warm water in the morning, steam at night, and keep sipping warm water through the day. Simple and you can do it around work. If it's dragging more than a week, squeeze in a doctor visit.
Beta gungune paani mein thoda namak daal ke gargle karo, aur honey adrak wali halki chai pee lo. Yeh chote nuskhe safe hai. Par agar cough zyada din chal rahi ya bukhar bhi hai toh doctor ko dikha do.
Warm water, steam and honey worked for me both times. Avoid cold things. Don't pick a cough syrup off the shelf yourself though, ask gynac which one is okay, some are not safe in pregnancy.
