Im 5 months and this dry cough is just not going yaar, especially at night it gets worse and I cant sleep. Scared to take anything without asking my gynac. Koi home remedy that actually worked for u all?
Oh God, when I got a bad cough in my second month I literally panicked thinking it will hurt the baby. But honestly, it's very common and the baby is safe inside. Just try warm water and some ginger tea, it really helps to soothe the throat.
I felt so helpless when I had a cough during my first trimester because we can't just take any random syrup. I used to cry thinking my tummy was shaking too much. Slowly drinking warm water with a little honey really got me through those tough nights.
Do not waste money on expensive cough syrups or running to the clinic for every small sneeze, trust me hospital OPD fees add up so fast. Try home remedies like haldi doodh first. Save that money for your upcoming third-trimester scans and delivery deposits, which are super expensive anyway.
I see this question so often here, relax dear it is quite common. Just do steam inhalation twice a day and drink warm liquids. If you get a fever or chest pain though, immediately call your gynac instead of trying ghar pe remedies.
Actually my doctor told me that dry cough happens due to low immunity in pregnancy. She strictly said not to take OTC cough syrups without asking her first. For relief, she advised steam inhalation thrice a day and warm salt water gargles, which worked wonders for me.
