Im in my second trimester and have this irritating dry cough for almost a week now, mostly at night and it just wont settle. I dont want to take any random syrup without asking my gynac first. What did you ladies try that actually gave some relief?
Beta warm water with a little honey and tulsi soothed my throat a lot. Take steam also, it loosens the dryness. But if the cough stays many days or you get fever, please show the doctor, dont just keep doing gharelu nuskhe.
Warm fluids, honey, and lots of water helped me. Avoid cold drinks and dusty places. Dont take any cough syrup on your own, a lot of them are not safe in pregnancy, ask your doctor first.
Home remedies like warm water and honey are good for a mild cough. But if it is persistent or you feel chest tightness, please call your gynac. They will tell you which medicine is safe, dont self medicate.
