have had this chesty cough for almost a week now and the congestion wont clear, it gets worse at night and im not sleeping properly. dont want to take random medicines in this condition. planning to call my doc but wanted to hear what others did for relief.
For me steam twice a day, warm fluids and honey ginger really helped the irritation. Keep yourself hydrated and rest. But if you get fever, breathlessness or it goes to the chest, definitely call your gynac.
A chest cough that is not clearing needs a doctor, dont try to treat it fully at home. I had a stubborn cough and my gynac picked a safe option for me. Please dont take any cough syrup without asking.
Beta steam inhalation and warm water with a little honey helped in our days, very gentle. Gargle with warm salt water also soothes. But for a deep chest cough, pls show the doctor, dont let it sit too long.
